Abstract:In-situ testing capabilities of lab-scale industrial computed tomography are rapidly improving. In the present study, the compressive deformation behaviour of a flax fibre-reinforced epoxy composite is studied in an in-situ compression test with stepwise loading, during 3D imaging with X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT). The 3D volumes are processed with Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) to identify the deformation of each loading step. The natural variability of the flax texture served as an adequate speckle patt… Show more
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.
