Abstract 3D imaging has become popular for analyzing material microstructures. When time
lapse series of 3D pictures are acquired during a single experiment, it is possible to …

In-situ micro X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) tests of concrete cubes under progressive
compressive loading were carried out to study 3D fracture evolution. Both direct …

Magnesium alloys are highly attractive for their application as structural materials as well as
medical implants. A range of alloying systems exists which are investigated, eg, in terms of …

This study provides direct observation of the crack closure mechanism of a naturally
occurring, tortuous, 3D microstructurally small fatigue crack (SFC) in additively manufactured …

Plastic deformation in the vicinity of hardness indentations in two ductile metals, an
aluminium–silicon carbide composite (Al–SiC) and a cast magnesium alloy (WE43), was …

Short fatigue crack growth behavior of zirconium was quantitatively investigated through
post-mortem electron backscattering diffraction analyses. Results show that the short fatigue …

The small fatigue crack (SFC) growth regime in polycrystalline alloys is complex due to the
heterogeneity in the local micromechanical fields, which result in high variability in crack …

The propagation rate of a fatigue crack in a nodular cast iron, loaded in cyclic tension, has
been studied in situ by X-ray computed tomography and digital volume correlation. The semi …

The crystallographic features of microstructurally small fatigue cracks (MSFCs) in a Ni-Co-
based superalloy were analyzed by using a Xe plasma focused ion beam scanning electron …

This paper describes the main results from an investigation into the strength and low‐cycle
fatigue (LCF) behavior of a rolled plate of WE43 Mg alloy in its T5 condition at room …
