Abstract:Grain growth theories normally describe a grain using the concept of ‘grain radius’. However, this assumption bypasses all topological information relating to the grain, viz., the number of its faces, edges, etc. This study, by contrast, introduces a new methodology, treating normal and abnormal grain growth in three dimensions in terms of both metrical and topological properties of the grains
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
