New Microstructure Geometry Model
SEM’s of 7075-T651 (R. Campman, CMU)
Improvements on past methods:
1. More accurate representation of grain aspect ratios
2. No “exaggerated” re-entrant corners along grain boundaries
Current status:
1. CMU has generated a model with a surface mesh
2. Cornell is developing tools to interpret new model and create volume mesh

Generating High-Fidelity NMSC Reliability Curve
Two possibilities:
• Large number of approximated
microstructural analyses
• Small number of highly-detailed
microstructural analyses
‘Critical Region’
Choose both:
• Entire curve with approximate
analyses
• ‘Critical Region’ with highlydetailed analyses
