... for the first time to track and match HDG fragments with their mother particles from which they break off. First, the X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) images of HDG particles were acquired from a one-dimensional compression test and a certain number of HDG particles and fragments were selected...

...Yosuke Higo; Ryunosuke Kido The hysteresis observed in a water retention curve was experimentally studied through the use of X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT). The CT images were acquired during the main drying and wetting processes of a water retention test for uniform sand. The porosity...
