Determining Active Slip System
There are two methods to determine which slip
system is active
BruteForce Method- Calculate angles for each slip
system for a given load and determine the maximum
Schmid Factor
Elegant Method- Use stereographic projection to
determine the active slip system graphically
Stereographic Projection Method
