The present work is devoted to the study of the grain number influence on the quantitative texture analysis and on the values of averaged elastic properties. Number of grains does not influence mathematical definition of orientation distribution function (ODF) (Bunge, H.J. (1982). Texture Analysis in Material Science. Butterworths, London; Matthies, S., Vinel, G.W. and Helming, K. (1987). Standard Distributions in Texture Analysis. Akademie-Verlag, Berlin.); nevertheless, intuitively clear that, averaging procedure implies a ‘‘large’’ number of grains to make sense. In the present work we applied the already suggested procedure (Lychagina, T.A. and Nikolayev, D.I. (2003). Phys. Stat. Sol. (a), 195(N2), 322–334.) for the case of hexagonal symmetry to evaluate the influence of the grain number in the sample on the calculated elastic properties. This procedure was carried out for graphite that is one of the widespread, applicable and highly anisotropic materials.

This paper describes the application of neutron diffraction to investigate the texture of a zinc layer 8 μm in thickness. In a nondestructive way both the texture of the zinc layer as well as the texture of the steel substrate were studied. Therefore, pole figures of iron ((110), (200) and (211)) and of zinc ((0002), (101¯0), (101¯1); and (101¯3)/(112¯0)) were measured; additionally the orientation distribution function of iron and zinc were calculated.

A Quantitative Texture Analysis approach to polycrystal piezoelectric and ferroelectric phenomena is given. Monocrystal longitudinal piezoelectric moduli are expanded in Bunge's symmetry- adapted functional bases. Suitable expansion coefficients are given. Orientation Distribution Function based algorithms for polycrystal piezo-moduli prediction are presented. Significant odd-order expansion terms are calculated and their relation to ghost phenomena is commented. Polycrystal ferroelectricity is characterized. Quantitative describers associated to crystallographic and electric orientation distributions are presented and related. Their evolution during heat and poling processes is discussed. Two computer-simulated examples are analyzed: (a) Texture-modulated longitudinal piezo-modulus is calculated for an ideal quartz single-component texture. (b) Barium titanate fibre texture transformation during a hypothetical technological process is investigated.

A new simple method is proposed for determining the orientation distribution function (ODF) for three-dimensional texture analysis in a polycrystal based on the reality that the accuracy of an ODF is dependent on both the accuracy of each measured pole figure and the number of pole figures.

The conception of texture components is widely used in texture analysis. Mostly it is used to describe the orientation distribution function (ODF) qualitatively, and there are only a few special functions used to provide texture component calculations.This paper attempts to introduce another model function describing common texture components and giving a compromise between universality and computational efficiency.

A method to obtain the orientation distribution function (ODF) of a polycrystalline material directly from X-ray diffraction spectra is presented. It uses the maximum-texture-entropy assumption to reduce the diffraction data needed for the ODF analysis. The validity of this new method is illustrated through two model examples.

The orientation distribution function depends on the measured pole-figure data structure. With reference to the divisions of the pole-figure the orientation space is divided into classes, such that contain orientations indistinguishable on the basis of pole-figure data. These classes should refer to distinguishable values of the orientation distribution function. Divisions of orientation space are considered in formulating the fundamental equation of texture analysis. Probabilistic interpretation of the fundamental equation is formulated.
