I. Molchanov et al., DIRECTIONAL ANALYSIS OF PLANAR FIBER NETWORKS - APPLICATION TO CARDBOARD MICROSTRUCTURE, Journal of Microscopy, 172, 1993, pp. 257-261
This paper discusses the problem of determining suitable roses of inte
rsections for systems of planar thick fibres which cross and overlap.
A planar Boolean model with long rectangular (or similar) grains is su
ggested as an appropriate mathematical model. It leads to a statistica
l estimator for the rose of intersections of the system of fibre spine
s. The method is used to analyse the microstructure of the outer layer
of two samples of cardboard.
