Novel methods and 4D-XCT tools for in situ characterisation of materials and their microstructural changes during functional testing KU Leuven
The overall goal of the project is the realization of an integrated 4D X-ray Computer Tomography (4DXCT) toolbox for the in situ mechanical testing and analysis of fibrous materials. Two representative sample studies of fibrous materials, whose mechanical behavior and damage development are still insufficiently understood, will demonstrate the general applicability of our approach: 3D printed composite materials (3DPCM) and biological tissues ...
