This work reviews state of the art representative volume element (RVE) generation
techniques for heterogeneous materials. To this end, we present a systematic classification …

Background Developments in digital image correlation (DIC) in the last decade have made it
a practical and effective optical technique for displacement and strain measurement at high …

In situ tensile tests were performed on additively manufactured austenitic stainless steel to
track damage evolution within the material. For these experiments Synchrotron Radiation …

The initiation and propagation of short cracks are critical to the detailed understanding of the
failure mechanisms of engineering materials and structures. Therefore, for a safety critical …

When considering the rheology of a suspension the fundamental physical aspect to be
quantified is the redistribution of strain between the deformable matrix fraction of the …

A deep learning procedure has been examined for automatic segmentation of 3D
tomography images from fiber-reinforced ceramic composites consisting of fibers and matrix …

With the development of X-ray computed tomography over the last few decades, it is
gradually considered to be a powerful tool in the field of materials research. This paper …

The deformation behavior of metal lattice structures is extremely complex and challenging to
predict, especially since strain is not uniformly distributed throughout the structure …

Nuclear-grade graphite is a critically important high-temperature structural material for
current and potentially next generation of fission reactors worldwide. It is imperative to …

In situ synchrotron X-ray computed micro-tomography and digital volume correlation (DVC)
were utilised to understand the failure mechanisms at room temperature and 1050° C of two …
