A framework for automated analysis and simulation of 3D polycrystalline microstructures. Part 2: Synthetic structure generation
This is the second of a two-part paper intended to develop a framework for collecting data, quantifying characteristics and subsequently representing microstructural information from polycrystalline materials. The framework is motivated by the need for incorporating accurate three-dimensional grain-level morphology and crystallography in computational analysis models that are currently gaining momentum. Following the quantification of microstructural features in the first part, this paper focuses on the development of models and codes for generating statistically equivalent synthetic microstructures. With input in the form of statistical characterization data obtained from serial-sectioning of the microstructures, this module is intended to provide computational modeling efforts with a microstructure representation that is statistically similar to the actual polycrystalline material.
