Abstract

Kick’s law and modified Kick’s law for pyramidal indenter were used to study the mechanical response of indented and quenched potassium bromide cleavages. The study has disclosed an unusual interpretation of constants in the above laws. It suggested a pair of anisotropic indices which characterize a crystallographic direction. This study has also shown that there is atleast one crystallographic direction usually termed as homogeneous isotropic direction along which their mechanical properties are same. The implications are discussed in detail.
