This study introduces stereological methods for analyzing gradient structures, which vary in one direction. These techniques enable precise estimation of key structural parameters like volume fraction and surface area density using lineal analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Stereology
  • Geometric Probability

Background:

  • Gradient structures exhibit inhomogeneity along a specific axis and homogeneity perpendicular to it.
  • Structural parameters (e.g., volume fraction, surface area density) are local characteristics dependent on the vertical coordinate.
  • Existing models for gradient structures incorporate parameters that vary with the vertical coordinate z.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply stereological methods for the quantitative analysis of gradient structures.
  • To enable the estimation of local structural parameters in inhomogeneous materials.
  • To extend existing stereological techniques to accommodate gradient variations.

Main Methods:

  • Modeling gradient structures using gradient point processes (e.g., for Voronoi tessellations and germ grain models).

    Conclusions:

    • Stereological methods, particularly lineal analysis, are effective for quantifying local properties of gradient structures.
    • The developed methods provide a framework for analyzing materials with spatially varying microstructures.
    • Further research using kernel methods is needed for specific particle size distribution estimations.
