Statistical Modeling for the Flow of Short Fibers Composites
1994
Numerical results are given for the flow of fiber composites modelled as suspensions of non spherical particles. In this framework, because the many particles rotate, their state of orientation is described with a statistical approach. We used these methods to compute coupled solutions in which the orientation of the particles is affected by the flow and the flow itself depends on the orientation of the particles. The computation methods involve an augmented lagrangian approach and a streamline upwind petrov galerkin formulation to solve the convective orientation equation.
Quantification of the microstructural evolution of polycrystalline fabrics using FAME: Application to in situ deformation of ice
2014
Abstract In geology, glaciology and material science new technological advances result in an ever increasing amount of data and datasets, in particular when in situ experiments are conducted. Rapid, rigorous and reliable statistical treatment is needed to allow researchers to access these large datasets for further analysis. Here, we present FAME (Fabric Analyser based Microstructure Evaluation), a suite of Matlab® scripts that utilize the Matlab® open-source toolboxes MTEX and PolyLX (optional) for rapid quantification of thin section data. The data has been collected using an automated Fabric Analyser at a spatial resolution of 5 μm/pixel. From the dataset, grain maps are reconstructed an…
