Abstract

For a set of convex particles on the plane the particle widths (sizes) h1,h2 measured in two perpendicular directions form a two-dimensional random variable (h1,h2). The corresponding second order moment E(h1h2) of (h1,h2) characterizes the particle size and shape. The moment E(h1h2) is related to the expected value ENK(A) of the number of counted particles which are totally within a test quadrat of area A. An experimental example of application for a Fe3C—dispersion in steel is given.

Keywords : convex particle, shape, size correlation, testing by quadrat
