Shape Descriptors for the Quantification of Microstructures

Abstract

The main objective of this research project was to establish an accurate methodology for the quantification of 3-D shapes in both experimental and synthetic microstructures in two-phase materials, as well as an accurate comparison metric between them. Furthermore, this project should establish a mathematical and numerical methodology for the analysis and identification of 3-D shapes based on random 2-D sections and explore ways in which this shape information can be correlated to materials properties. The research was carried out by the PI and two graduate students, Lily Nguyen and Ryan Harrison. The grant provided support for the students (tuition + stipend) and the PI (Summer salary) as we as travel support to attend conferences and review meetings. The program has benefitted from interactions with external groups at OSU, UCSB, UCLA, U Mich and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Germany).
