Deformation characterization of the crystal grains adjacent to the crack. (a) Numbered grains next to the crack, selected for plastic deformation study. (b) The Laue diffraction pattern with all reflections indexed as an example taken from Grain #9 on top of the crack. (c) Simulations of the Laue peak streaking direction corresponding to all the 12 possible {111}/〈110〉 slip systems of face-centered cubic structure by utilizing the software package XMAS. The one highlighted in red is the best match of the simulated shapes with pattern shown in (b).
