Observation of Damage Process in a Particulate Composite Material by Real-Time Radiographic Techniques

Abstract

The damage initiation and evolution processes in pre-cracked sheet specimens subjected to different loading conditions, constant strain rate and constant strain, were investigated using real-time x-ray techniques. The specimens were made of a particulate composite material containing hard particles embedded in a rubber matrix. The x-ray data were analyzed and the results are discussed.
