1) During the first transient stage, a c-axis cross girdle develops which is symmetrically disposed with respect to the long axis of the finite strain ellipse (straight, black lines in the pole figures).
2) This c-axis cross girdle reduces to an oblique (with respect to the long axis of the finite strain ellipse) c-axis single girdle. In so doing, one of the two single girdles is eliminated.
3) The steady state textures are characterized either by two stable
c-axis point maxima (HT-LS & HT-HS) or by a stable c-axis single girdle
(IT-HS).
