On the reconstruction of polycrystalline microstructures from two-point correlation statistics

  • Published:
Journal of Computer-Aided Materials Design

Abstract

An exhaustive branching technique is introduced for reconstructing discrete microstructures from two-point statistic occurrences. It is shown that two-point statistics control microstructure, to the extent that exact replicas of discrete microstructures are produced when sufficient two-point statistic occurrences are matched. Efficiency comparisons between simulated-annealing methods and the exhaustive branching method are made on polycrystalline structures and some discussion on advancing the exhaustive branching method is given.
