Soap, cells and statistics – random patterns in two dimensions

TL;DR: A survey of random two-dimensional patterns, paying particular attention to soap cell networks, metallurgical grain structures and the Giant's Causeway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aboav-Weaire's and Lewis' laws—A review

TL;DR: A brief review of Aboav's law and Lewis' law is given in this paper, where a discussion of the mathematical forms of these two laws is discussed, with the emphasis on their mathematical forms.
Journal ArticleDOI

The spatial arrangement of random Voronoi polygons

TL;DR: A Monte Carlo procedure is used to derive simple models which describe some of the characteristics of the spatial arrangement of individual Voronoi polygons within a tesselation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mean-Value Formulae for the Neighbourhood of the Typical Cell of a Random Tessellation

TL;DR: In this paper, the mean number of edges of a randomly chosen neighboring cell of the typical cell in a planar stationary tessellation, under the condition that it has n edges, has been studied by physicists for more than 20 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Method of the Analysis of the Connectivity of Road and Street Network in Terms of Division of the City Area

TL;DR: The main goal of the study was to present a method of performing analysis based on the computation of numerical values of selected measures of connectivity of road and street network for a city area divided into fields of regular shape.

The arrangement of grains in a polycrystal

D.A Aboav
- 01 Dec 1970 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the grains of a polycrystal are found not to be disposed at random, but to be arranged in a way that can be quantitatively expressed in simple terms, and an attempt is made to relate it to a geometrical property of the intergranular surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Some remarks on the arrangement of grains in a polycrystal

TL;DR: Aboav's observation of a correlation between the number of sides of a grain in a section of polycrystal and its neighbors can be explained using Euler's Theorem as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monte carlo estimates of the distributions of the random polygons determined by random lines in a plane

TL;DR: The results of a Monte Carlo study of the random polygons determined by homogeneous and isotropic random limes in the plane (the standard passion line process) are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Monte-Carlo generation of random polygons

TL;DR: The approach and algorithms for the generation of random polygons are presented along with a FORTRAN program designed to generate the random Voronoi polygons, which can be adapted easily to other random polygon generations.
