ERNST DIETER SCHMITTER  ISABELLA MARIA ZYLLA  
Extracting information relevant for microstructure characterization from digital images is an important part of materials analysis and testing. Automization of these processes using proper algorithms is desirable with the background of speed, reliability and objectivity. However detailed image evaluation always is a trade-off beween the expert knowledge of a person and algorithmic power. In [...]
 
Verification of the stereometric-fractal description of overlaps in sialon ceramics' fractures
 
SEBASTIAN STACH  STANISŁAW ROSKOSZ  JERZY CYBO  JAN CWAJNA  
A quantitative description of overlaps on fractures in sialon ceramics, is presented in the paper. A conventional analysis, aiming at the determination of the percentage share of overlaps on the basis of quantitative fractography, was preceded by stereometric/fractal analyses. They enabled the selection of representative sections of samples and then, the production of transverse microsections[...]
