Slip line field
A slip line field or slip line field theory, is a technique often used to analyze the stresses and forces involved in the major deformation of metals, using theories based around maximum shear stress. Slip lines are the directions of maximum shear stress in the body undergoing plastic deformation.History
The slip-line theory was co-developed by Hilda Geiringer in the early 1930s. She developed the Geiringer equations, which simplify the process of calculating the deformation.
