On the relation between grain size and grain topology
Abstract
Experimental studies of the topology of grains in polycrystals have indicated that the topological complexity of a grain is related to its diameter, as opposed to its surface area or volume. This paper presents additional experimental documentation of this correlation and a theoretical derivation of the empirically observed relationship.
