Capillarity plays a crucial role in many natural and engineered systems, ranging from
nutrient delivery in plants to functional textiles for wear comfort or thermal heat pipes for heat …

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) combined with computer simulations have proved to be
an extremely powerful and versatile tool for material characterization in recent years. The …

Ultrasonic imaging and radiography are widely used in the aerospace industry for non-
destructive evaluation of damage in fibre-reinforced composites. Novel phase-based X-ray …

In this work we present a method to characterize microcracks in carbon fiber reinforced
polymer (CFRP) samples with a diameter up to 120 mm using quantitative grating-based X …

Fully integrated monitoring systems have shown promise in improving confidence in
composite materials while reducing lifecycle costs. A distributed optical fibre sensor is …

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a type of composite material used to provide resistance to
corrosion when incorporated into piles. However, there is a gap in knowledge in terms of the …

We propose a methodology to monitor the progressive saturation of a non-translucent
unidirectional carbon fabric stack through its thickness by means of X-ray radiography and …

In this work, we present a multimodal approach to three-dimensionally quantify and visualize
fiber orientation and resin-rich areas in carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers manufactured by …

Abstract Talbot (-Lau) interferometric x-ray and neutron dark-field imaging has, over the past
decade, gained substantial interest for its ability to provide insights into a sample's …

It has always been one of the important issues and challenges of current concern on the
damage identification of fiber-reinforced composite sandwich structures. In this work, a …
