| Abstract Scope |
Predictive modeling of polycrystalline materials deformation relies on a robust understanding of grain-scale heterogeneity and the statistical representativeness of measured micromechanical properties. This study investigates the strain and temperature dependence of homogenization length scales and slip system activity at 25°C and 355°C using high energy X-ray diffraction microscopy (HEDM). By systematically varying subvolume size, and by analyzing spatial heterogeneity in resolved shear stress (RSS) across prismatic <a>, basal <a>, and pyramidal <c+a> slip systems, we demonstrate that statistical representativeness is strongly slip-system- and condition-dependent. These findings highlight the limitations of traditional bulk-based approaches and underscore the necessity for slip-system-aware strategies in experimental design and micromechanical modeling. |
