Hysteresis Loop Data Files for Test SC8

Description - this test was performed on a nickel single crystal specimen with a specimen axis orientation of [348]. The test is completely reversed tension-compression cycling with a nominally constant plastic strain amplitude of 0.004. The above figures show: (a) - cyclic hardening expressed as primary slip system resolved  shear stress amplitude vs. cumulative plastic strain; (b) - selected axial stress vs. axial plastic strain responses.

Representative Data Files: The hysteresis loop data file format is column 1: axial stress (MPa), column 2: axial strain, column 3: axial plastic strain
