Shape Functions of Non-Spherical Particles for the Determination of the Size Distribution from Measurements Made on the Random Plane Sections

Abstract

In order to examine the size distribution of non-spherical objects by means of measurements made on the random plane sections, the sectioned figures are scanned by an image analyzer. The dimensionless shape function necessary for evaluation of the distribution can be statistically determined. The function is observationally compared to the microscopic aspects and quantitatively contrasted with the previous results summarized by the different measurement and analysis of the identical samples.
