Application of computer simulation in the stereology of materials

Four applications of computer simulations in stereology are discussed and demonstrated: 1 systematic graphical classification of 3D tessellations with application to the grain size estimation based on the combination of profile and intercept counts with the coefficient of profile area variation 2 simulation and estimation of double stochastic processes with application to cavity formation under high-temperature creep loading 3 simulation of the intercrystalline fracture and stereology of fracture surfaces 4 estimation of the anisotropy of simulated spatial fibre processes.
