Zhang, H. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Chaves Figueiredo, S. (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This work aims to provide a method for numerically and experimentally investigating the fracture mechanism of cement paste at the microscale. For this purpose, a new procedure was proposed to prepare micro cement paste cubes (100 × 100 × 100 µm3) and beams with a square cross section of 400 × 400 µm2. By loading the cubes to failure with a...journal article 2016

Liu, D. (author), Heard, P. (author), Savija, B. (author), Smith, G. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Flewitt, P. (author)In the present work, the microstructure and mechanical properties of Gilsocarbon graphite have been characterized over a range of length-scales. Optical imaging, combined with 3D X-ray computed tomography and 3D high-resolution tomography based on focus ion beam milling has been adopted for microstructural characterization. A range of small...conference paper 2015
