Abstract
Although the volume fraction is a constant for statistically homogeneous me dia, on a spatially local level it fluctuates and depends on the observatio n window size. In this article, we develop exact analytical expressions for the full local-volume fraction distribution function of periodic arrangeme nts of rods, rectangles, and cubes in a matrix. These formulas depend on th e inclusion density and window size. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics . [S0021-9606(99)71306-1].
