This project will involve taking as many different
kinds of image of the material near the tip of
a crack as feasible. Specimens with different crack
histories will be used with the aim of detecting
the mechanical differences in the images. Imaging
methods could include optical (both regular bright
field and differential interference contrast),
scanning electron microscopy (secondary, back scatter,
EBSD), ion imaging (in the dual beam FIB). |
