This book is about the measurement and analysis of textures, the prediction of polycrystal properties from measured textures and known single crystal properties and the development of texture and anisotropic properties in elastic and plastic.
Grain boundaries are important structural components of polycrystalline materials used in the vast majority of technical applications. Because grain boundaries form a continuous network throughout such materials, their properties may limit their practical use. One of the serious…
"Three-dimensional x-ray diffraction (3DXRD) microscopy is a novel experimental method for structural characterisation of polycrystalline materials." "The book gives a comprehensive account of the methodology followed by a summary of selected applications. The method is presente…
