Computer modelling of grain microstructure in three dimensions

Abstract
We present a program that generates the two-dimensional micrographs of a three dimensional grain microstructure. The code utilizes a novel scanning, pixel mapping technique to secure statistical distributions of surface areas, grain sizes, aspect ratios, perimeters, number of nearest neighbors and volumes of the randomly nucleated particles. The program can be used for comparing the existing theories of grain growth, and interpretation of two-dimensional microstructure of three-dimensional sa...

Title of program: MIKROGRAF
Catalogue Id: ADBM_v1_0

Nature of problem
Calculation of quantities of stereological interest, such as statistical distributions of surface areas, grain sizes, aspect ratios, perimeters, number of nearest neighbours and volumes of the individual particles as observed in a microscope and graphical simulation of a typical 2D micrograph.
