EBSD.curvature edit page

computes the incomplete curvature tensor

The curvature is only ever known within the measurement plane: a 2d map says nothing about how the orientation changes along its normal. So the tensor is assembled from the two in-plane directions and left NaN along ebsd.N.

Syntax

kappa = curvature(ebsd)
kappa = curvature(ebsd,'stencil','full')   % passed on to the gradient

Input

ebsd EBSD

Output

kappa curvatureTensor

Options

passed straight to gradient, e.g. |'stencil'|
