In order to determine the thermo-mechanical properties of a complex 3D woven ceramic composite material, an experiment at high and inhomogeneous temperature and its dedicated full-field measurement procedure is developed. 3D tomographic images of the tested sample are captured at different stages of loading in a synchrotron beamline, and an infrared camera captures a side view of the sample as it rotates in the X-ray beam. A pin-hole projective model of the thermographic camera allows one to map the thermal field measured under numerous orientations onto a 3D mesh of the sample built from an initial tomographic image or a model. The projective model has to be calibrated, and an original procedure is proposed thanks to an integrated digital image correlation algorithm based on the "silhouette" of the sample (as only the protruding edges outlining the sample shape can be seen clearly). This procedure is illustrated with an experimental case study.
The tomography of an object with limited angle can be addressed through Iterative Reconstruction Reprojection (IRR) procedure, wherein a standard reconstruction procedure is used together with a "filtering" of the image at each iteration. It is here proposed to use as a filter a phase-field-or Cahn-Hilliard-regularization interlaced with a filtered back-projection reconstruction. This reconstruction procedure is tested on a cone-beam tomography of a 3D woven ceramic composite material, and is shown to retrieve a reconstructed volume with very low artifacts in spite of a large missing angle interval (up to 28%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
