X-ray computed tomography (CT) can reveal the internal details of objects in three
dimensions non-destructively. In this Primer, we outline the basic principles of CT and …

Phase-field fracture (PFF) modeling is a popular approach to model and simulate fracture
processes in solids. Accurate material parameters and boundary conditions are of utmost …

This paper discusses the development of a Dual Beam microfocus high-energy X-ray
tomography system for laboratory experiments, aiming to enhance temporal resolution and …

In-situ (tomography) experiments are generally based on scans reconstructed from a large
number of projections acquired under constant deformation of samples. Standard digital …

The current approach to materials discovery and design remains dominated by experimental
testing, frequently based on little more than trial and error. With the advent of ever more …

The present study aims at demonstrating the feasibility of performing a fracture test in less
than 1 min in a laboratory CT scanner despite the severe time constraints of tomography …

Abstract pt 4, an open-source software tool to describe time-evolving phantoms is presented.
pt 4 allows users to create detailed time-evolving phantoms for testing novel 4D-CT …

Although digital volume correlation (DVC) seems to be a simple extension of digital image
correlation to 3D situations, new challenges arise. The first problem is that the actual …

In experimental mechanics, full-field measurements are an essential ingredient for the
identification and validation of mechanical laws. Initially developed for 2D plane …
