title = "Observation of composite materials using coupled mechanical testing and computed tomography",
abstract = "A coupled load frame and x-ray micro-tomography unit was used to observe damage processes occurring within model composite specimens subjected to mechanical loading. These specimens consisted of two tows of glass fiber in the form of bound loops within an epoxy matrix of cylindrical form with 3-mm diameter cross-section. Computed tomography reconstruction was used to investigate internal structure of the specimens under load. This reconstruction revealed internal cracking and progressive failure in several experiments.",
