| Abstract Scope |
Understanding how anisotropy influences the micromechanical and microstructural evolution of structural materials is critical for predicting material performance and failure. In this study, we leverage advanced in situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction techniques—specifically, high-energy x-ray diffraction microscopy (HEDM)—to systematically probe the effects of anisotropy during the polycrystalline materials deformation. By combining far-field and near-field HEDM, we obtain comprehensive, three-dimensional measurements of grain orientation changes and the development of orientation gradients at both grain-averaged and sub-grain scales. Our results reveal how anisotropic material properties contribute to heterogeneous deformation. These findings highlight the importance of high-fidelity experimental data for calibrating and validating microstructure-informed mechanical models. Ultimately, integrating such data with computational modeling frameworks will accelerate the qualification and deployment of new, anisotropy-tailored material systems in industrial applications. |
