Fig. 5. Stereographic contour plots of the asymmetry between tensile strength and compressive strength of a Cu, b Au, c Ni, d Pt, e Al, f Ir. Black spots and lines are denoted as the loading orientations where the maximum and minimum t/c asymmetries happen. For further analysis, the orientations where cleavage would happen under tension [26] are encircled with white dashed lines and marked with C (cleavage) inside the circles
