The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the theory of the normal cycle and to show how to use it to define a curvature measures on singular surfaces embedded in an (oriented) Euclidean space 𝔼 3 . In particular, we will introduce the notion of asymptotic cone associated to a Borel subset of 𝔼 3 , generalizing the asymptotic directions defined at each point of a smooth surface. For simplicity, we restrict our singular subsets to polyhedra of the 3-dimensional Euclidean space 𝔼 3 . The coherence of the theory lies in a convergence theorem: If a sequence of polyhedra (P n ) tends (for a suitable topology) to a smooth surface S, then the sequence of curvature measures of (P n ) tends to the curvature measures of S. Details on the first part of these pages can be found in [6].
