Abstract Monitoring the microstructure and damage development of fibre-reinforced composites during loading is crucial to understanding their mechanical properties. Time-resolved X-ray computed tomography enables such

Abstract The microstructure governs the behaviour of unidirectional fibre-reinforced composites. In this study, we developed a Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) to generate realistic

Abstract Cementitious brittle construction materials are susceptible to fracturing due to their heterogeneous material composition and relatively weak bond between the aggregates and paste. Hence,

Abstract Visualization and quantification of bone microarchitecture in the human knee allows gaining insight into normal bone structure, and into the structural changes occurring in

Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM) of high-performance structural ceramic components with comparative strength and toughness as conventionally manufactured ceramics remains challenging. Here, a UV-curing approach is

Abstract Automation through 3D printing can be a possible technological breakthrough in construction. However, the carbon footprint is not necessarily reduced as the print formulations consist of

Abstract 3D nanoparticles are important as reinforcing or functional phase in polymer composite materials; however, an optimised deagglomeration and uniform distribution of these particles is

Implementation of a methodology for in-situ 3D characterisation of the crack front in a double cantilever beam test using microfocus X-ray computed tomography

Characterizing the microstructure of an ice/surface interface and its effect on the icephobic behavior of surfaces remains a significant challenge. Introducing X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) can provide unprecedented insights into the internal (porosity) and interfacial structures

Cryogenic contrast-enhanced microCT enables nondestructive 3D quantitative histopathology of soft biological tissues Biological tissues comprise a spatiallycomplex structure, composition andorganization at the microscale, named the

Development and characterization of a rat brain metastatic tumor model by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and histomorphology Abstract To facilitate the development of new brain

Multiscale modelling of capillary imbibition in 3D-printed porous microfluidic channels   Abstract 3D-printed porous microfluidics has been proposed to realize complex passive lab-on-chips. The performance

The translaminar fracture toughness of high-performance polymer fibre composites and their carbon fibre hybrids   Abstract The translaminar fracture toughness is a key property that

Abstract This work describes a systematic alloy design strategy resulting in the development of a high strength aluminum alloy adopted for L-PBF. First, based on

Research paper Model for calcite spherulite formation in organic, clay-rich, lacustrine carbonate shales (Barbalha Formation, Aptian, Araripe Basin, NE Brazil) Abstract The formation of carbonate spherulites,

Digital volume correlation for meso/micro in-situ damage analysis in carbon fiber reinforced composites   Abstract Recently, in-situ X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) has shown its potential
