Bone's remarkable mechanical properties are a result of its hierarchical structure. The
mineralized collagen fibrils, made up of collagen fibrils and crystal platelets, are bone's …

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 …

Propagation-based phase-contrast X-ray imaging is by now a well established imaging
technique, which–as a full-field technique–is particularly useful for tomography applications …

High-resolution in situ synchrotron X-ray laminography combined with digital volume
correlation (DVC) is used to measure the damage and plastic strain fields ahead of a notch …

To illustrate the advances made in permeability calculations combining X-ray
microtomography and lattice Boltzmann method simulations, a sample suite of different …

Human brain tissue belongs to the most impressive and delicate three-dimensional
structures in nature. Its outstanding functional importance in the organism implies a strong …

Severe plastic deformation of solids is relevant to many materials processing techniques as
well as tribological events such as wear. It results in microstructural refinement, redistribution …

The strain rate dependency and failure modes of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP)
laminate were investigated under out-of-plane compressive loading. Simultaneous high …

Indirect X-ray detectors are of outstanding importance for high resolution imaging, especially
at synchrotron light sources: while consisting mostly of components which are widely …
