Abstract
We present a methodology to impose micromechanical constraints, i.e. stress equilibrium at grain and sub-grain scale, to an arbitrary (non-equilibrated) voxelized stress field obtained, for example, by means of synchrotron X-ray diffraction techniques. The method consists in finding the equilibrated stress field closest (in L²-norm sense) to the measured non-equilibrated stress field, via the solution of an optimization problem. The extraction of the divergence-free (equilibrated) part of a general (non-equilibrated) field is performed using the Hodge decomposition of a symmetric matrix field, which is the generalization of the Helmholtz decomposition of a vector field into the sum of an irrotational field and a solenoidal field. The combination of: a) the Euler–Lagrange equations that solve the optimization problem, and b) the Hodge decomposition, gives a differential expression that contains the bi-harmonic operator and two times the curl operator acting on the experimental stress field. These high-order derivatives can be efficiently performed in Fourier space. The method is applied to filter the non-equilibrated parts of a synthetic piecewise constant stress fields with a known ground truth, and stress fields in Gum Metal, a beta-Ti-based alloy measured in-situ using Diffraction Contrast Tomography (DCT). In both cases, the largest corrections were obtained near grain boundaries.
