摘要: Abstract A general mathematical formulation is given to the problem of determining structural anisotropy by means stereological principle. Three cases are considered—distributed curves in plane, distributed space and surfaces space. The number intersections with a probe line or plane viewed as transformation, which termed “Buffon transform”, between two distribution densities, form its inverse transform given. Then, change due deformation material formulated, strain shown be determined from data intersection counting. All equations written Cartesian tensor invariant coordinate translations rotations. typical example also
