Abstract
Quantitative homological metrics are proposed for characterizing the thermal-elastic response of calcite-based polycrystals. The characterization is based on topological measurements, such as the number of components and the number of handles of a complex microstructure and its thermal-elastic response fields. These homological metrics are then applied to characterize both the grain-boundary misorientations in the polycrystal and the resulting elastic energy density and principal stress fields. It is demonstrated that the topological analysis can quantitatively distinguish between different types of grain-boundary misorientations, as well as between the resulting differences in the response fields.Citation
