The use of X-ray computed tomography (CT), exploiting both synchrotron and laboratory
sources, has grown significantly over the last decade, driven primarily by improvements in …

Composite materials are increasingly used in the aerospace industry. To fully realise the
weight saving potential along with superior mechanical properties that composites offer in …

The number of industrial applications of Computed Tomography (CT) is large and rapidly
increasing. After a brief market overview, the paper gives a survey of state of the art and …

The effects of porosity on the matrix-dominated mechanical properties of unidirectional
carbon fiber-reinforced plastic composites were evaluated using X-ray computed …

With the development of X-ray computed tomography over the last few decades, it is
gradually considered to be a powerful tool in the field of materials research. This paper …

This work concerns with self-reinforced composite phase change materials (CPCMs) for
thermal energy storage (TES) to deal with the mismatch between energy generation and …

The aim of the current study is to propose a versatile, non-destructive inspection strategy to
evaluate the structure of two different aircraft carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP)-based …

Here we present the first real-time three dimensional (3D) observations of damage evolution
in a carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite tube under torsion. An in-situ torsion …

Damage induced in polymer composites by various impacts must be evaluated to predict a
component's post-impact strength and residual lifetime, especially when impacts occur in …

Accurate identification and measurement of internal voids and porosity is an important step
towards improvement of production processes to obtain high quality materials and products …
