A method of orientation.

the texture average of a single crystal tensor over an ODF, a list of orientations or a map; MATLAB’s calcTensor

Syntax

TV = calcTensor(odf, T)

Over an ODF, the Voigt average.

TR = calcTensor(odf, T, 'Reuss')

The inverse averaged and inverted.

TH = calcTensor(odf, T, average='Hill')

The mean of the Voigt and the Reuss average.

TV = calcTensor(ori, T, weights=w)

Over a weighted list of orientations.

TV, TR, TH = calcTensor(ebsd, T1, T2, 'all')

Over a map, one tensor per phase.

Description

The average decides how the rotated tensors are combined:

  • ‘Voigt’, the default: the mean of the tensor rotated by the orientations.
  • ‘Reuss’: the inverse of the mean of the rotated inverses.
  • ‘Hill’: the mean of the Voigt and the Reuss average.
  • ‘all’: the three of them.

Over an ODF the average is exact, since a rotated tensor of rank R is a polynomial of degree R in the rotation. MATLAB’s geometric mean (‘geometric’) is not offered.

Over a map every indexed phase takes the tensor of its crystal frame, the tensors given in any order, and a phase without a tensor is refused: select the phases first, ebsd[[‘Forsterite’, ‘Enstatite’]].

Input

x SO3Fun, orientation or EBSD
T tensor, the single crystal tensor; for a map one per phase

Keywords

keyword default description
average 'Voigt' ‘Voigt’, ‘Reuss’, ‘Hill’ or ‘all’; also given as a string after the tensors
weights None one weight per orientation or pixel

Output

T the average, of the class of T; with ‘all’ the three averages Voigt, Reuss, Hill
