EBSD map GUI¶
This GUI allows to analyze quantitatively slip transmission across grain boundaries for an EBSD map.
The Matlab function used to run the EBSD map GUI is: A_gui_plotmap.m
This includes:
- Loading EBSD data
- Smoothing GBs segments
- Misorientation angle
- m’ parameter
- Residual Burgers vector
- Schmid factor and slip trace analysis
Loading EBSD data¶
For more details about the format of the EBSD data, see also the page: Experimental data.
Warning
Be careful when importing datasets with high number of grains (e.g. > 300 grains), the loading and plotting steps may take few minutes…
Smoothing GBs segments¶
The smoothing algorithm allows to decrease the total number of grains boundaries in order to speed up calculations and plots.

The Matlab function used to smooth GBs is: interface_map_GB_segments_opti.m
Misorientation angle¶
m’ parameter¶
Residual Burgers vector¶
Schmid factor and slip trace analysis¶
Plot options¶
The Matlab function used to plot cell lattice is : vis_lattice.m
It is also possible to plot the structure of octahedral and tetrahedral interstitial defects.
