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

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

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) meso-scale finite element models of concrete based on in-
situ X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) images are developed and validated in this study …

Two-dimensional meso-scale finite element models with realistic aggregates, cement paste
and voids of concrete are developed using microscale X-ray Computed Tomography …

In-situ micro X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) tests of concrete cubes under progressive
compressive loading were carried out to study 3D fracture evolution. Both direct …

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 …

Through a combination of mechanical stresses and corrosive environments, a material's
performance may be hindered by the complex evolution of damage due to stress corrosion …

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 …

Natural and manufactured materials rely on complex hierarchical microstructures to deliver a
suite of interesting properties. To predict and tailor their performance requires a joined-up …

Increasingly researchers are looking to bring together perspectives across multiple scales,
or to combine insights from different techniques, for the same region of interest. To this end …
