Generating polycrystalline microstructures with prescribed tensorial texture coefficients

Abstract This work is concerned with synthetic microstructure models of polycrystalline materials. Once a representation the generated, individual grains need to be furnished suitable crystal orientations, matching specific orientation distribution. We introduce novel method for this task, which permits prescribe orientations based on tensorial Fourier coefficients. compact gives rise texture coefficient optimization prescribing method, enabling determination representative digital microstructures. compare proposed established and dedicated algorithms in terms linear elastic as well non-linear plastic behavior material.
