The linear intercept length distribution has been calculated with a grain structure model based on the assumption that the grain diameter has a log-normal distribution. The grain shapes of the solids adopted are spherical, cubic and tetrakaidecahedral. Results obtained are as follows.
(1) The linear intercept length distribution is not log normal in every model.
(2) The difference from a log-normal form in the linear intercept length distribution depends on the standard deviation of the logarithm of grain diameter, lnσg. The difference tends to decrease with the increment of lnσg.
(3) The linear intercept length distribution is influenced by the grain shape.
(4) The calculated results of the linear intercept length distribution in the present model appreciably differ from the experimental results in the actual grain structure. The difference is, however, attributed to the limit of measurability for the linear intercept length in the experiments.
