X-ray computer tomography (CT) is fast becoming an accepted tool within the materials
science community for the acquisition of 3D images. Here the authors review the current …

This paper reviews recent developments on the cleat-scale characterisation of coal. Novel
micro-CT imaging and image calibration methods are described. The application of micro …

This is the second and final part of our digital rock physics (DRP) benchmarking study. We
use segmented 3-D images (one for Fontainebleau, three for Berea, three for a carbonate …

The scope of the series covers the entire spectrum of solid mechanics. Thus it includes the
foundation of mechanics; variational formulations; computational mechanics; statics …

Both naturally-occurring and man-made materials are often heterogeneous materials formed
of various constituents with different properties and behaviours. Studies are usually carried …

The three-dimensional (3D) structure and architecture of biomaterial scaffolds play a critical
role in bone formation as they affect the functionality of the tissue-engineered constructs …

The linear elastic moduli of cement paste are key parameters, along with the cement paste
compressive and tensile strengths, for characterizing the mechanical response of mortar and …

In the design of tissue engineering scaffolds, design parameters including pore size, shape
and interconnectivity, mechanical properties and transport properties should be optimized to …

Taking and analyzing images of materials' microstructures is essential for quality control,
choice and design of all kind of products. Today, the standard method still is to analyze 2D …

A reservoir carbonate core plug has been imaged in 3D across a range of length scales
using high resolution X-ray microtomography (μ-CT). Data from the original 40-mm diameter …
