X-ray computer tomography (CT) is fast becoming an accepted tool within the materials
science community for the acquisition of 3D images. Here the authors review the current …

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 …

Spam, the Software for the Practical Analysis of Materials is a Python library that has evolved
to cover needs of data analysis from 3D x-ray tomography work and correlated random fields …

The current state of the art of digital image correlation, where displacements can be
determined for values less than one pixel, enables one to better characterise the behaviour …

The objective of this work was to observe and quantify the onset and evolution of localised
deformation processes in sand with grain-scale resolution. The key element of the proposed …

A set of triaxial compression tests on specimens of argillaceous rock were performed under
tomographic monitoring at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France …

A new methodology is proposed to estimate 3D displacement fields from pairs of images
obtained from X-ray computed microtomography (XCMT). Contrary to local approaches, a …

Digital image correlation is a measurement technique that allows one to retrieve
displacement fields' separating'two digital images of the same sample at different stages of …

We provide the first direct comparisons, to our knowledge, of complex 3D micro cracking
initiation and propagation in heterogeneous quasi-brittle materials modelled by the phase …

The macroscopic response of a geomaterial is entirely determined by changes at the particle
scale. It has been established that particle crushing is affected by particle size, shape and …
