METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING, IN PARTICULAR, MICROMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF A MATERIAL, IN PARTICULAR, FOR DESCRIBING GRAIN SIZE DEPENDENCIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18360726 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING, IN PARTICULAR, MICROMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF A MATERIAL, IN PARTICULAR, FOR DESCRIBING GRAIN SIZE DEPENDENCIES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a device and method for determining a micromechanical property of a material, specifically focusing on grain size dependencies. The method involves predefining a grain size-independent parameter and determining a grain size-dependent parameter as a function of the grain size-independent parameter. The property of the material is then determined as a function of both the grain size-independent parameter and the grain size-dependent parameter.
- The invention focuses on determining a micromechanical property of a material, specifically considering the influence of grain size.
- A grain size-independent parameter is predefined, which serves as a reference point for the analysis.
- A grain size-dependent parameter is determined based on the grain size-independent parameter, capturing the relationship between grain size and the property being measured.
- The micromechanical property of the material is determined by considering both the grain size-independent parameter and the grain size-dependent parameter.
- The invention utilizes a device and computer-implemented method to perform the analysis.
Potential Applications:
- Material science research: This technology can be used to study the micromechanical properties of various materials, helping researchers understand the influence of grain size on material behavior.
- Quality control in manufacturing: By measuring the micromechanical properties of materials, manufacturers can ensure the consistency and quality of their products.
- Structural engineering: Understanding the grain size dependencies of materials can aid in designing stronger and more durable structures.
Problems Solved:
- Lack of understanding: The invention addresses the need for a method to determine the micromechanical properties of materials, specifically considering the impact of grain size.
- Inconsistent material behavior: By analyzing grain size dependencies, this technology helps identify factors that contribute to variations in material properties, allowing for better control and optimization.
Benefits:
- Improved material design: By considering grain size dependencies, engineers can design materials with enhanced properties tailored to specific applications.
- Enhanced quality control: The ability to measure micromechanical properties and understand grain size dependencies enables manufacturers to ensure consistent product quality.
- Cost savings: Optimizing material properties based on grain size dependencies can lead to more efficient use of resources and potentially reduce material waste.
