Abstract

Microstructure is often described quantitatively in two dimensional space from measurements on sections. But the morphology of materials must be defined in three dimensional space. In this paper we present the different parameters allowing to describe quantitatively a structure in three dimensional space without any hypothesis.

Keywords : connectivity number, Euler-Poincaré constants, three dimensional space analysis
