    Hierarchically guided in situ nanolaminography for the visualisation of damage nucleation in alloy sheets

    Get PDF
    Hierarchical guidance is developed for three-dimensional (3D) nanoscale X-ray imaging, enabling identification, refinement, and tracking of regions of interest (ROIs) within specimens considerably exceeding the field of view. This opens up new possibilities for in situ investigations. Experimentally, the approach takes advantage of rapid multiscale measurements based on magnified projection microscopy featuring continuous zoom capabilities. Immediate and continuous feedback on the subsequent experimental progress is enabled by suitable on-the-fly data processing. For this, by theoretical justification and experimental validation, so-called quasi-particle phase-retrieval is generalised to conical-beam conditions, being key for sufficiently fast computation without significant loss of imaging quality and resolution compared to common approaches for holographic microscopy. Exploiting 3D laminography, particularly suited for imaging of ROIs in laterally extended plate-like samples, the potential of hierarchical guidance is demonstrated by the in situ investigation of damage nucleation inside alloy sheets under engineering-relevant boundary conditions, providing novel insight into the nanoscale morphological development of void and particle clusters under mechanical load. Combined with digital volume correlation, we study deformation kinematics with unprecedented spatial resolution. Correlation of mesoscale (i.e. strain fields) and nanoscale (i.e. particle cracking) evolution opens new routes for the understanding of damage nucleation within sheet materials with application-relevant dimensions

    Gothic Revival Architecture Before Horace Walpole's Strawberry Hill

    The Gothic Revival is generally considered to have begun in eighteenth-century Britain with the construction of Horace Walpole’s villa, Strawberry Hill, Twickenham, in the late 1740s. As this chapter demonstrates, however, Strawberry Hill is in no way the first building, domestic or otherwise, to have recreated, even superficially, some aspect of the form and ornamental style of medieval architecture. Earlier architects who, albeit often combining it with Classicism, worked in the Gothic style include Sir Christopher Wren, Nicholas Hawksmoor, William Kent and Batty Langley, aspects of whose works are explored here. While not an exhaustive survey of pre-1750 Gothic Revival design, the examples considered in this chapter reveal how seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Gothic emerged and evolved over the course of different architects’ careers, and how, by the time that Walpole came to create his own Gothic ‘castle’, there was already in existence in Britain a sustained Gothic Revivalist tradition

    3D in situ study of damage during a ‘shear to tension’ load path change in an aluminium alloy

    International audienceA load path change (LPC) from shear to tension has been studied for a recrystallized 2198 T8 aluminium alloy sheet material by three-dimensional (3D) X-ray imaging combined with image correlation and interpreted by complementary 3D finite element (FE) simulations. A cross-shaped specimen was designed for the non-proportional loading and multiscale study. The effect of the LPC on the formability and related strain localisation, damage and failure was investigated and damage mechanisms could be clearly identified. The macroscopic tension stretch to fracture, measured by an optical extensometer during the shear to tension test, was reduced by about 20% compared to the proportional tension test. Damage, measured by in situ laminography imaging at ÎŒm-scale resolution, has interestingly already been found under shear, and was quantified as surface void fraction during the LPC. Strain was measured inside the material and at the mesoscale by 2D digital image correlation (DIC) on projected volume data, using the (natural) intermetallic particle contrast present in the 3D laminographic data. An accumulated equivalent strain definition, suited for the description of non-proportional loading, has been applied to the DIC data and FE simulations, indicating good agreement between both. On the microscopic scale, damage was seen to nucleate under shear load in the form of flat cracks, of similar width as the grain size, and in the form of cracks inside intermetallic particles. This damage subsequently grew and coalesced during tensile loading which in turn led to final fracture
