Basic Metals:Conductivity, etc.

Local Properties:Grain/crystal properties

Material Properties:Moduli, strength

Object Properties: Rigidity, Moment

Material Response: Relaxing StressUnder Applied Stress, material will seek to relax-into plastic deformed shape – But why this shape?

Zoom In: A question of Energy

It’s a question of which arrangement requires the lowest energy

Zoom Out: That’s not all the EnergyMaterial in this region still experiences (infinite) pain

Texture• Zoomed in to the grain level, each

grain has specific anisotropic properties

• Zooming out a little, grains of various orientations disrupt predictions made about anisotropic properties in the bulk material

• Zooming out more, we may be able to analyze – or exploit texture to recover some of those properties/predictions Processing
