3D Visualization of Textures in Metals and Alloys

In a separate article, we described how one can use the neo-Eulerian orientation representations to create new 3D visualizations of the Rodrigues Fundamental Zones in homochoric, cubochoric, 3D stereographic, Euler and Rodrigues-Frank orientation representations. In the present article, we use these visualization modes to illustrate how one can represent Orientation Distribution Functions as 3D objects. …

Electron Channeling Pattern Dictionary Indexing Manuscript

One of our recent papers on dictionary indexing of electron channeling patterns (ECPs) was just accepted for publication in Microscopy & Microanalysis.  The original final submitted manuscript can be found HERE. The figure below represents one of the simulated ECPs from Fig. 5 of the manuscript; it is a false color version and will be …

EBSD Data Files

Here are the links for a Nickel EBSD test pattern dictionary.  There are two dictionary files, EBSDDictionary_100.h5 and EBSDDictionary_50.h5 one generated with a cubochoric sampling of N=100 samples along the cubic semi axis, the other with N=50. The first data set has a total of 333,227 patterns, the second one consists of a total of …

Construction of a new 3D projection dome at CMU

In the early Summer of 2014, we started the design of a 3D hemispherical projection dome for visualization of scientific data sets. Check this page to find out the status of this project.
