Abstract
A new stereological method is presented which enables the unfolding of joint size-shape-orientation distribution of spheroidal particles in opaque materials. It is shown that this trivariate problem can be deco mposed into a series of two simpler problems. The sampling is based on a vertical uniform random planar section. Besides the theoretical int egral equations between distributions of planar and spatial parameters , a numerical solution is also described in detail. The method is appl ied to the study of damage initiation in Al-Si metal matrix composites . Weibull modelling of particle cracking is briefly discussed. Copyrig ht (C) 1997 Acta Metallurgica Inc.
