The laser diffraction method (LDM) is a relatively new technique that is increasingly used in
measurements of the particle size distribution (PSD) of soil and sediments. It has significant …

The morphology of granular materials, such as sands, is of significant importance due to the
effect of grain shape on their physical, mechanical, and hydraulic behavior. As technology …

The properties of sediment grain shape provide valuable information about the transport
mechanisms in different sedimentary and geomorphological environments. With the …

Interface shear strength of geosynthetic clay liners (GCL) with the sand particles is
predominantly influenced by the surface characteristics of the GCL, size and shape of the …

In order to achieve quality control of nickel-based superalloy powders, it is necessary to
quantitatively characterize the particle shape. This paper introduces how the image …

The quartz-grain shape is an important sedimentological attribute typically used to
reconstruct depositional settings and sediment transport conditions and predict the duration …

Texturally bipartite and stagno-gleyed Planosols are becoming more commonly reported
from the temperate climate zone. Although ferrolysis is widely accepted as the major process …

The correct and consistent identification of the petrographic properties of coal is an important
issue for researchers in the fields of mining and geology. As part of the study described in …

Grain-shape analyses are essential in geological research because they provide the basis
for genetic interpretations, including sedimentation conditions. The methods of visual …

An automated image analysis method is proposed here to study the size and shape of
siliciclastic sedimentary particles of paleosols of Central European loess sequences …
