Abstract


Understanding the microstructural influence on the failure mechanisms in multi-phase materials calls for the identification of the worst-case scenario. This necessitates a statistical approach. By performing simulations directly based on micrographs, such an approach becomes feasible. This is applied here to extract the average microstructure around damage sites.
