Recent advances in the automated manufacture of composite structures have renewed the
interest in fibre metal laminates (FMLs) in various engineering sectors. FML structures …

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

The recent appearance of several commercial systems makes X-ray microtomography
