34546-01 - Block course: Texture Analysis and Orientation Imaging (2 CP)
| Semester | fall semester 2017 |
| Course frequency | Every fall sem. |
| Lecturers | Renée Heilbronner (renee.heilbronner@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | The workshop starts with a 2-day introduction to texture basics and CIP, an image-analysis based method for the derivation and mapping of c- axis orientations, misorientations and orientation gradients of uniaxial minerals. The next 2 days are dedicated to EBSD analysis including MATLAB/mtex: introduction to electron back scatter diffraction and mesotextures, texture analysis in the context of deformation mechanisms, misorientation analysis and applications. Emphasis is on combining / comparing / contrasting CIP, EBSD and MATLAB/mtex analyses. On the last day, extrapolations to natural and experimental deformation are discussed. Case studies will be presented highlighting texture development in geomaterials. In a final wrap-up session, course material may be reviewed and additional special topics may be discussed. |
| Learning objectives | The aim of the workshops is to familiarize participants with methods for texture analysis and texture mapping (CIP and EBSD), and to discuss applications to geological and rock mechanics problems. |
