Microradiographic Observation of Material Damage Structure

Failures in ductile and composite materials precede intensive internal material damage evolution. Not only the onset and existence of damage but also its quantification and time evolution have to be determined with micrometric accuracy for material science research. The proposed experimental system includes the advantage of simplicity of the use and low cost operation compared to the cost and size of synchrotron facilities, which are up to day used for this kind of material science studies.
