Abstract

We visualized the strain field of a polymer matrix using a finite element method (FEM) simulation based on knowledge of the three-dimensional (3D) structural configuration of silica particles in rubber. The 3D structural configuration was obtained using the Zernike-type phase contrast X-ray imaging method. Based on the structural information, the inhomogeneous local deformation of the rubber matrix was visualized using the FEM simulation.
