“…The existing partitioning strategies can be generally classified into two categories: (1) geometry‐based strategy
51‐55 uses internal features such as grains in the polycrystalline microstructures or inclusions in the particulate composites to define the partitions; and (2) response‐based strategy
43,44,56‐58 groups the subdomains of the microstructure with similar responses into the same parts when the microstructure is subjected to a given loading. In this work, we propose a mixed approach: The partitioning is initiated by ensuring that each grain in the polycrystalline volume is represented by at least one part (i.e.,
).…”
