Abstract 3D imaging has become popular for analyzing material microstructures. When time
lapse series of 3D pictures are acquired during a single experiment, it is possible to …

People have exploited the biocatalytic potential of microorganisms for centuries to produce
wine, vinegar, bread, and so forth without understanding their biochemical basis. Microbial …

Driving range and fast charge capability of electric vehicles are heavily dependent on the 3D
microstructure of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) and substantial fundamental research is …

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 …

Damage evolution characterization and performance evaluation under realistic conditions
are essential to ensure reliable operation of critical safety components. However, previous …

Considering the multi-phase constitutive nature of strain-hardening cement-based
composites (SHCC) and the decided influence of their micromechanics on overall material …

In this study, the progression of tension-tension fatigue (R= 0.1) damage in a uni-directional
(UD) composite made from a non-crimp glass fibre fabric used for wind turbine blades is …

Hard X-ray nanotomography enables 3D investigations of a wide range of samples with high
resolution (< 100 nm) with both synchrotron-based and laboratory-based setups. However …

Voids and cracks can fatally degrade structural materials such as metals and ceramics but
are tolerated in carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites if monitored to prevent …

The crack initiation and propagation under the application of opening load were analyzed in
situ using nondestructive synchrotron radiation X-ray computed tomography (nanoscopic SR …
