Influence of Pore Network Parameters on Hygric Property Prediction for Porous Building Materials

Abstract Hygric pore network modelling, which characterises the macroscopic moisture storage and transport properties by simulating the microscopic storage and transport of moisture in the pore elements of the pore network, is a novel method to characterise the hygric properties of building materials. To analyse, verify and/or compare pore networks, a wide array of parameters …

Material representativeness of a polymer matrix doped with nanoparticles as the random speckle pattern for digital volume correlation of fibre-reinforced composites

Abstract Combining tomographic imaging with digital volume correlation allows in-situ 3D strain mapping, leading to a quantitative assessment of damage mechanisms and associated material properties in structural materials. Being based on pattern recognition, digital volume correlation is well-suited for materials with intrinsic and stable microstructural heterogeneity, such as certain biological tissues. Unfortunately, conventional polymers and …
