2017 Workshop on Methods for Three-Dimensional Microstructure Studies
The workshop has concluded. Thank you to the 50 participants and all the presenters. The 2018 workshop will be held July 9th and 10th, 2018, at Carnegie Mellon. The link to the 2018 website is here .
Overview
The Materials Science & Engineering Department of Carnegie Mellon University will host a workshop on 3D Microstructures July 17-18, 2017, in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Bluequartz Software. The workshop is intended for researchers at all levels and will combine presentations on 3D microstructure science as well as practical presentations on the tools and methods for reconstructing, analyzing and synthesizing 3D microstructures. A particular focus of the workshop is on 3D orientation maps, constructed from EBSD serial sections, transmission X-ray measurements, or synthetic microstructures. Participants in the workshop will learn how to use Dream.3D, which is a freely available software package that performs a wide range of functions for reconstructions of 3D microstructures, statistical analysis and generation of representative volume elements. The package is tightly integrated with ParaView, which is a freely available visualization software tool. Both of these tools run on all standard computers.
The workshop will consist of three types of presentations. Roughly one third of the presentations will be about state of the art 3D materials research. Another third of the presentations will be tutorials illustrating the capabilities and uses of Dream.3D. The final third of the workshop will be practical sessions in which you can work on your own project with the guidance of the speakers. One set of practical sessions will be for those participants who would like to analyze their own 3D data (we will provide data to those who do not have it). The second set will be for those who would like to develop their own Dream.3D filters. So that you can follow the tutorials and participate in the practical sessions, it will be necessary to have your own computer at the workshop.
Program Highlights
1) Keynote Lecture by Prof. Nikhilesh Chawla of Arizona State University
2) Reconstruction of EBSD serial section data
