Multifractal detection of overlaps based on a stereometric analysis of fracture surfaces: Application to fractures of sintered carbides

A methodology is presented of a multifractal image analysis which was applied to real stereometric files from profilographometric examinations of the fractures of WC-Co sintered carbides. The analysis was conducted based on the research scheme and theoretical basis discussed in [Stach S, Cybo J. Multifractal detection of overlaps based on a stereometric analysis of fracture surface: assumptions, Materials Characterization (in this issue).[1]]. The solution presented enables the detection of the locations of overlaps on a fracture surface and their graphic presentation.
