Figure 1
An illustration of the workflow for rapid inference of microstructural deformation. A polycrystalline sample is subject to mechanical loading while we acquire HEDM data. Bragg diffraction spots from the initial material state are used to train an image representation model (encoder) and a clustering model. These two models combined are sensitive to changes in the diffraction spots. Using these models, the REIs are computed as we continue to apply mechanical loading to the sample and acquire HEDM data. A significant increase in REI is quantitative actionable information that the experimenters can use to steer the course of the experiment. |
