Huge variety of existing codes

only common denominator: MATERIAL



What is a material ?

Any material is „a number of atoms

arranged in a volume“

The number of atoms may be large and they typically will belong to several chemical elements



What is a material in terms of keywords?

Any material is „a NumberAtoms

arranged in a Volume“

The NumberAtoms may be large (NumberMoles) and they typically will belong to a NumberChemicalElements




Volume

• must be large enough to host the number of atoms • should be large enough to be representative for the „material“

Atoms are described by electronic and atomistic models



Position/Volume/Orientation of RVE Keyword Example ReferenceFrame (component frame CF)

RVEID Identifier

Position = (x0 y0 z0) (in ComponentFrame)

Centroid = (x1 y1 z1) (in RVE Frame)

Origin Position-Centroid

Orientation Orientation e.g Euler Angles or Quaternions (w.r.t CF)

Volume NumberCellsX*CellSizeX NumberCellsY*CellSizeY* NumberCellsZ*CellSizeZ

or lenghtX*lenghtY*lenghtZ

Surface separate slides…

Note: RVE may have arbitrary shape Discretisation needs NOT to be voxel type



Generic microstructure: Atoms in an RVE

Some further keywords: NumberConstituents, NumberIsotopes, NumberAtoms

ConstituentID, ConstituentName(ConstituentID), IsotopeID, IsotopeName(IsotopeID)

Keyword Example

NumberChemicalElements 2 (Al and Cu)

ChemicalElementID „CEID“ =1 (for Al) (=2 (for Cu))

ChemicalElementName(CEID) = Al, CU

NumberMoles(CEID) = see „composition“

NumberMoles all Atoms

Mol(CEID)_Fraction

(NumberMoles(CEID) /NumberMoles)

Composition Vector of all Mol_Fractions for all CEID

Note: „Properties“ are introduced via CEName e.g. MolecularMass Al = 27g/mol



Generic microstructure: Phases in an RVE

Keyword Example

PhaseType Multiphase solid liquid

NumberPhases in the RVE = 3

PhaseID = 3 , 1 and 2

PhaseName(PhaseID) = Liquid = α- Al = Al2Cu

Volume(PhaseID)_Fraction Volume(PhaseID) /Volume(RVE)

Note: Equilibrium volume fractions of phases can be calculated for given composition and conditions, but NO information about spatial distribution of the phases in the RVE



Generic microstructure: Ensembles/Phases I

Keyword Example

PhaseID 1

PhaseName α- Al

Volume Volume of this phase

Centroid Centroid of this phase

Orientation …

NumberChemicalElements 2 (Al and Cu)

ChemicalElementID „CEID“ =1 (for Al) (=2 (for Cu))

ChemicalElementName(CEID) = Al, CU

NumberMoles(CEID) = see „composition“

NumberMoles all Atoms in PhaseID

Mol(CEID)_Fraction

(NumberMoles(CEID) /NumberMoles)



Generic microstructure: Ensembles/Phases II

Keyword Example

CrystalStructure solid-solution FCC

CrystalSymmetry cubic

Crystalline_Fraction 1

LatticeConstants e.g. numbers, xyz or CIF file information



An RVE from the engineering perspective

homogeneous and isotropic piece of material „effective“ (i.e. homogenized/averaged) properties Different RVEs at different positions in component „Properties“ typically taken from tables/databases Microstructure determines properties: statistical

information about microstructure features thus is highly desirable and sometimes available e.g.

– Average grain size (Hall-Petch relation) – Texture (anisotropy) – Secondary dendirte arm spacing (permeability, strength,..) – Phase fractions (precipitation hardening) – Phase composition…(solution hardening) – Dislocation densities..(work hardening)



Keywords for spatially resolved information

How to describe

„arranged“

?????




Atoms may „self arrange“ (see also e/a/m models) and form

objects/features and ensembles of objects/features e.g. – molecules, particles, precipitates, crystals/grains – different phases/crystal structures – defect structures

….and eventually – multiphase, polycrystalline materials

Describing features by fields

: feature indicator function ( ….a FIELD) = 0 if feature is absent = FeatureID if feature is present

x-r x+r

Example Feature = grain with Volume (r) and Centroid at x0



Generic microstructure: Features in RVE

NumberFeatures in RVE : 4 FeatureIDs = 1-4

NumberFeatures belonging to Phase 1 = 2 FeatureIDs = 1 & 2

Keyword Example FeatureID Identifier

PhaseID to which phase the feature belongs

Centroid Centroid of feature

Orientation Orientation e.g Euler Angles or Quaternions (w.r.t RVE Frame)

Volume Volume of feature/grain

Composition Average composition in feature

Surface See separate slides

Note: Feature may have arbitrary shape which is described by FeatureId Field



Further Features/Fields: Defects

NumberDefectTypes (e.g. point defects, line defects, planar defects, 3D defects, dislocations, porosity,…) NumberDefects(Type) Defect(Type)_Density = NumberDefects(Type)/Volume(RVE) (alt.: Volume(Ensemble, Feature, Field) DefectVolume_Distribution

These keywords apply to RVE (shown here), Ensemble, Feature, or Field



Interfaces

The whole is more than the

sum of its parts

…..when considering interfaces as a part of the story….

• Can all further required keywords be derived by suitable schemes?

Summary: metadata description of a microstructur

The proposed metadata keyword structure describes – a volume – distinct features in the volume – continous fields – interfaces – surfaces/boundaries

The proposed metadata keyword structure accounts for – the hierarchical structure of materials – descritpions of phase-transitions – future amendments

The proposed metadata keyword structure allows to assign – attributes to an ensemble of objects („phases“) – attributes to features – attributes to interfaces – conditions on boundaries

The proposed metadata keyword structure is independent of models and numerics – in view of interoperabilty with experimental data – in view of possibly available analytic solutions

The proposed metadata keyword structure may even be applicable to e/a/m - models – to be verified….
