A circle/sphere populating method to generate 2D/3D stochastic microstructures.

ABSTRACT: A circle/sphere populating method is proposed to generate 2D/3D stochastic microstructures. The proposed method uses circles/spheres as the basic elements and generates microstructure features through the populating process of the circles/spheres. In the populating process, the cores are first generated randomly and circles/spheres start to populate around the cores or the previous generation's circles/spheres. The populating process is controlled by the input parameters including the volume fraction, core number, circle/sphere size distribution, circle/sphere populating distance distribution, circle/sphere populating number, and populating direction constraint angle. The proposed method was compared with the QSGS method and random circle/sphere method in 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimension
