In this article, the role of anisotropy and grain size distribution on an ultrasonic beam was analyzed in a model characterized by grain size distributions and grain orientation distribution in a polycrystalline medium constructed using Voronoi tessellations.
Abstract
Ultrasonic assessment of materials and defects are affected by microstructural parameters like grain size and texture. When a beam of ultrasound propagates in a polycrystalline medium, it undergoes extensive scattering by grains, grain boundaries and other microstructural features such as dislocations, voids, micro cracks etc. To understand the role of anisotropy and grain size distribution on an ultrasonic beam, a model system is proposed for carrying out ultrasonic wave propagation in a model characterized by grain size distribution and grain orientation distribution. A 2D polycrystalline medium constructed using Voronoi tessellations with a specific grain size distribution is considered and orientational averaging studies are carried out.

Finite-element modelling of elastic wave propagation and scattering within heterogeneous media

TL;DR: The quantitative agreement is found to be excellent across previously unvisited scattering regimes; it is believed that this is the first quantitative validation of its kind which provides significant support towards the existence of the transitional scattering regime and facilitates future deployment of numerical methods for these problems.

Modeling and simulation of ultrasonic beam skewing in polycrystalline materials

TL;DR: In this paper, a Voronoi tessellation algorithm is used to represent an equiaxed polycrystalline morphology and numerical simulations are performed on beam skewing in both weak (Aluminum) and strong (Copper) anisotropic media as a function of beam launch angles.

Triple junctions network as the key pattern for characterisation of grain structure evolution in metals

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural entropy was proposed as a descriptor of the network of triple junctions that governs continuous dynamic recrystallisation of copper alloys. But, the proposed descriptor is not suitable for the characterization of alloys and it is difficult to apply to alloys due to the limited available characterisation data.

The geometrical properties of irregular two-dimensional Voronoi tessellations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a parameter used to quantify the regularity of two-dimensional Voronoi tessellations based upon assemblies of hard core discs, which may vary continuously from zero to one, for a completely random Poisson Voroni Tessellation, to one for a fully ordered regular hexagonal honeycomb.
