Description:
To characterize topologically the polycrystalline microstructure of single-phase alloyscomputer simulations are performed on 3-dimensional cellular models. These infinite periodiccellular systems are constructed from a finite set of space filling convex polyhedra (grains). It isshown that the appropriately selected topological shape factors can be successfully used for thequantitative characterization of computer-simulated microstructures of various types.
