A method for determining the stresses in single crystals similar to that generally used for polycrystalline samples is described. The method for single crystals is more complicated because of the need for accurate alignment and consideration of anisotropic elastic constants. Means for calculating and compensating for alignment errors are included. Stress values determined by this method are compared with those determined by other independent means.
