Correctness of Fractal Analysis of Fractographic Surface Microstructure According to Digital SEM Photogrammetry

  • STRUCTURAL MATERIALS RESEARCH
  • Published:
Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

The fractal analysis of fractographic surfaces employing digital processing of scanning electron microscope (SEM) images is considered. Mathematical tools for digital photogrammetry, particularly in stereological or stereometric options, are proposed. The mathematical formalism for processing SEM images is employed. The fractal analysis of SEM images is analyzed for correctness.
