Coordinated projects
Stochastic and analytical methods from image processing for the characterization of local mechanical properties of multiphase metallic materials
Research Training Group 1932
Central goals of the project are the development, analysis, numerical realization and validation of variational as well as stochastic models to describe a aluminum matrix composite (AMC) with silicon carbide (SiC) particle reinforcement. High resolution micrographs taken during in situ deformation experiments will provide the necessary images for the mathematical developments. Numerical methods have to be developed to describe the local deformation characteristics. To model the geometrical microstructure of AMC, algorithms for the simulation of inhomogeneous particle size, shape and distribution as well as stereological model fitting techniques have to be developed.
The project is carried out in cooperation with the department of mathematics (Prof. Gabriele Steidl, Jun.-Prof. Claudia Redenbach) and the Fraunhofer ITWM (Dr. Katja Schladitz) and is gratefully supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) within the framework of the research training group (RTG) 1932.
