This work reviews state of the art representative volume element (RVE) generation
techniques for heterogeneous materials. To this end, we present a systematic classification …

This review highlights recent advances in X-ray microcomputed tomography (microCT) as
applied to materials, specifically advances made since the first materials microCT review …

Encompassing the concepts, practice, and application of orientation analysis, Introduction to
Texture Analysis is an essential reference source for reserachers in textiles. The author uses …

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 …

MicroComputed Tomography has become the gold standard for studying 3D microscopic
structures nondestructively, and this book provides up-to-date coverage of the modality. The …

This important textbook provides an introduction to the concepts of the newly developed
extended finite element method (XFEM) for fracture analysis of structures, as well as for …

This paper aims at illustrating the potential of X-ray tomography for studying the mechanical
behaviour of materials through in situ experiments. Typical experimental tomography set ups …

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 …

SCC in turbine disc steels exposed to simulated steam-condensate tends to nucleate
preferentially from corrosion pit precursors. The evolution of these cracks is not …

Metallic cast components inevitably contain defects such as shrinkage cavities which are
inherent to the solidification process. Those defects are known to significantly alter the …
