Find Schmid Factors

Group (Subgroup)

Statistics (Crystallographic)

Description

This Filter calculates the Schmid factor of each Feature given its average orientation and a user defined loading axis. The Schmid Factor is the combination of the component of the axial force F that lies parallel to the slip direction and the component that lies perpendicular to the slip plane. The equation for the Schmid Factor is given as:

Schmid Factor = (cos φ cos λ)

The angle φ is the angle between the tensile axis and the slip plane normal, and λ is the angle between the tensile axis and the slip direction in the slip plane.

The Filter determines the Schmid factor for each Feature by using the above equation for all possible slip systems (given the Feature's crystal structure). The largest Schmid factor from all of the slip systems is stored for the Feature. Only the Schmid factor is used in determining which slip system's Schmid factor to report. The critical resolved shear stress for the different slip systems is not considered.
