X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a non-destructive technique that offers a 3D insight into
the microstructure of thick (opaque) samples with virtually no preliminary sample …

During the last few decades, a number of advanced experimental techniques have provided
an unprecedented insight into the behaviour of geomaterials. A notable example are the so …

Coral aggregate is a type of porous and light-weight construction material with intense
prospects for the engineering applications in remote ocean islands. However, its …

Background Infrared thermography (IRT) techniques and full-field deformation calorimetry
approaches have profoundly impacted the experimental mechanics community. The way in …

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

Background X-ray imaging offers unique possibilities for Digital Image Correlation (DIC),
opening the door for full-field deformation measurements of a test article in complex …

Understanding the particle-scale dynamics of granular materials during rapid compaction
and flow is of fundamental importance for manufacturing, planetary science, geology, and …

The measurement of the position of single-sized spheres in 3D from a single, divergent,
radiographic projection is addressed in the present study with the development of a novel …

We introduce an improved version of a computational algorithm that “clones”/generates an
arbitrary number of new digital grains from a sample of real digitalized granular material. Our …

In this perspective article, we discuss the challenges of imaging assemblies of particles in
three dimensions. Starting from a brief motivation for the investigation of particulate …
