In the metallographic laboratory, grain analysis of metallic and alloy samples is an effective quality control procedure. The majority of metals have grain boundaries in their crystalline structure.

Finding the grain boundaries in materials is vital because the material’s grain structure very often defines its mechanical properties. An example is given in the Hall-Petch relation, where strength ...

Tropical cyclones pose a growing threat to coastal infrastructure and livelihood. Because instrumental and historic records are too short to help us understand interactions between tropical cyclones ...

Grain-size trend analysis is applied to the determination of sediment transport pathways over the Kwinte Bank, southern North Sea; which had been subjected to intensive dredging, within the context of ...
