Overview
|
| Microstructure sensitive design (MSD) for performance optimization embodies a rigorous mathematical framework for systematic design of material microstructure to meet the requirements of the designer in optimal ways. It is deeply rooted in the spectral representations of the first and second-order invertible linkages between a material’s microstructure, its
effective macroscale properties, and the processing history it has experienced. This methodology starts with the specification of microstructure hull defined as the set of all possible microstructures deemed relevant by the governing physics of the design problem. The microstructure hulls facilitate the delineation of the properties closures, depicting the complete set of all theoretically feasible combinations of anisotropic properties. It is emphasized here that it would be impossible to establish the most typical property closures desired by the designer without the specification of the microstructure hull. Computationally efficient methodologies to build microstructure hulls and property closures, and to explore subspaces in these constructs that are readily accessible by available material processing routes, are at the core of the MSD framework.
