The Ellipsoid Factor for quantification of rods, plates and intermediate forms in 3D geometries
The Ellipsoid Factor (EF) is a method for the local determination of the rod- or plate-like nature of porous or spongy continua. EF at a point within a 3D structure is defined as the difference in axis ratios of the greatest ellipsoid which fits inside the structure and which contains the point of i...
