Books

A readable book covering measurement and analysis of textures as well as modelling the development of texture during plastic deformation

  • Texture and Anisotropy – Preferred orientations in polycrystals and their effect on materials properties by U.F Kocks, C.N Tomé and H.-R Wenk, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge 1998

This book is a good introduction to crystallography and the basics of texture.

  • Crystallography and Crystal Defects, 2nd edition, A. Kelly and K.M. Knowles, John Wiley and Sons, Chichester, 2012

This book covers the mathematical theory behind texture analysis including the construction of CODFs

  • Texture Analysis in Materials Science – Mathematical methods by H. J. Bunge, Butterworths & Co. 1982

Original papers containing charts to determine ideal orientations from crystallite orientation distribution functions

  • Charts for analysing crystallite distribution function plots for cubic materials by G.J Davies, D.J Goodwill, and J.S Kallend (J. Appl. Cryst. 4 (1971) 67-70)
  • Charts for analysing crystallite orientation distribution function plots for hexagonal materials by G.J Davies, D.J Goodwill, and J.S Kallend (J. Appl. Cryst. 4 (1971) 193-196)
