Polycrystalline material Grain Boundary Character Distribution

Two dimensional computational model for a polycrystalline materials and comparison of the empirical distribution - Grain Boundary Character Distribution (GBCD) (characteristics of the texture of the boundary networks in polycrystalline materials) versus Boltzmann distribution (from “A Theory and Challenges for Coarsening in Microstructure” by K.Barmak, E.Eggeling, M.Emelianenko, Y.Epshteyn, D.Kinderlehrer, R.Sharp and S. Ta’asan).
