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 …

Characterizing material 3D deformation and damage is a key challenge in mechanical
research. Digital volume correlation (DVC), as a tool for quantifying the internal mechanical …

Computed tomography (CT) is a nondestructive technique, based on absorbing X-rays, that
permits the visualisation of the internal microstructure of material. The field of application is …

Over the past two decades, immense research efforts at a global level have extended CT-
Scan technology across several engineering fields. The state-of-the-art of the most relevant …

During in situ cyclic testing of hot isostatically pressed and heat-treated Al-5Si-0.5 Mg-1Cu
alloy castings, cracks were observed to open up in places far away from the area of stress …

Tensile tests have been conducted on die-cast coupons of an Al-Si-Cu alloy, which have
been found to contain no pores via X-ray inspection. Due to the digital image correlation …

A hot isostatically pressed specimen of the A357 alloy in T6 condition has been tested for
fatigue performance in situ. During testing, multiple small cracks were observed during the …

High SiMo cast iron components in automotive exhaust systems are exposed to high-
temperature oxidation over time. Quantitative analysis of formed oxide scale is therefore …

Une meilleure compréhension de l'influence des défauts, et plus généralement de
l'influence de la microstructure héritée du procédé d'élaboration, sur la fatigue est un …
