Computations of Particle Surface Characteristics Using Optical and X-Ray CT Images

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
E Masad, S Saadeh, T Al-Rousan, Edward Garboczi, D Little
The description of particle surface characteristics is of interest in many disciplines in science and engineering such as powder technology, geology, soil science, and infrastructure materials. Consequently, there is a need to develop methods to quantify

Some Properties of Irregular 3-D Particles

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Michael A. Taylor, Edward Garboczi, S T. Erdogan, D Fowler
This paper discusses some of the properties of irregular particles that are of interest to engineers, including volume, density, & surface area. Numerical and statistical information on these properties is essential (a) for a better understanding of

Three-Dimensional Shape Analysis of Coarse Aggregates: Methodology and Preliminary Results on Several Different Coarse Aggregates

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
S T. Erdogan, P N. Quiroga, D Fowler, H A. Saleh, Richard A. Livingston, Edward Garboczi, Peter M. Ketcham, John G. Hagedorn, Steven G. Satterfield
The shape of aggregates used in concrete is an important parameter that helps determine many concrete properties. The mathematical technique of spherical harmonic analysis was recently demonstrated to be able to effectively analyze three dimensional

Investigation of the Effect of Artificial Internal Defects on the Tensile Behavior of Laser Powder Bed Fusion 17-4 Stainless Steel Samples: Simultaneous Tensile Testing and X-Ray Computed Tomography

October 5, 2021
Author(s)
Felix Kim, Shawn P. Moylan, Thien Q. Phan, Edward Garboczi
Insufficient data are available to fully understand the effects of metal additive manufacturing (AM) defects for widespread adoption of the emerging technology. Characterization of failure processes of complex internal geometries and defects in metal AM

Characterizing the effects of laser control in laser powder bed fusion on near-surface pore formation via combined analysis of in-situ melt pool monitoring and X-ray computed tomography

October 4, 2021
Author(s)
Felix Kim, Ho Yeung, Edward Garboczi
Background: Near-surface or sub-surface pores are critical to the structural integrity of additively manufactured (AM) parts, especially in fatigue failure applications. However, their formation in laser powder bed fusion is not well-understood due to the

Design of a 3000 pixel transition-edge sensor x-ray spectrometer for microcircuit tomography

August 1, 2021
Author(s)
Paul Szypryt, Douglas Bennett, William J. Boone, Amber L. Dagel, G Dalton, William Doriese, Malcolm Durkin, Joseph Fowler, Edward Garboczi, Jonathon D. Gard, Gene Hilton, Jozsef Imrek, E S. Jimenez, Vincent Y. Kotsubo, K Larson, Zachary H. Levine, John Mates, D McArthur, Kelsey Morgan, Nathan J. Nakamura, Galen O'Neil, Nathan Ortiz, Christine G. Pappas, Carl Reintsema, Dan Schmidt, Daniel Swetz, K R. Thompson, Joel Ullom, C Walker, Joel C. Weber, Abigail Wessels, J W. Wheeler
Feature sizes in integrated circuits have decreased substantially over time, and it has become increasingly difficult to three-dimensionally image these complex circuits after fabrication. This can be important for process development, defect analysis, and

Using fine sand shape metrics determined from X-ray microcomputed tomography to illustrate the influence of particle shape on the properties of dispersed mortars

July 10, 2021
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Jeffrey W. Bullard, Olafur Wallevik, Pierre Estephane
This study follows a first paper written on some three-dimensional geometrical quantities of a selection of sand particles from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), determined using a combination of X-ray microcomputed tomography (µCT) and spherical harmonic

Three-dimensional particle size, shape, and internal porosity characterization: Application to five similar titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) powders and comparison to two-dimensional measurements

May 26, 2021
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Rainer Hebert, Yu Sun, Mark Aindow
In an earlier paper, titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) powders from six different vendors were characterized with a number of methods in an attempt to distinguish these powders that were all nominally meeting additive manufacturing standards. One of the methods

Optical Scattering Characteristics of 3D Lunar Regolith Particles Measured using X-Ray Nano Computed Tomography

April 27, 2021
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Ann Chiaramonti Debay, Somen Baidya, Ahmed M. Hassan, Andrew Sharits, Jay D. Goguen, Thomas Lafarge, Mikolas Melius
Shape is a critical property, besides size and material composition, which has a strong effect on the optical scattering characteristics of a particle. In this work, we computationally study how the measured three-dimensional shapes of lunar regolith

Homogenization of Concrete Microstructures in Nuclear Power Plants

December 31, 2020
Author(s)
Christa Torrence, Aishwarya Baranikumar, Zachary Grasley, Edward Garboczi
Nearly all nuclear power plants in the United States are operating past their intended lifetimes or are requesting lifetime extensions, therefore understanding changes to the concrete containment structure over time is crucial to evaluate the structure's

Microstructure Homogenization of Concrete Used in Nuclear Power Plants

December 31, 2020
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Christa Torrence, Zachary Grasley, Aishwarya Baranikumar, William Lawrimore
Nearly all nuclear power plants in the United States are operating past their intended lifetimes or are requesting lifetime extensions. Therefore, understanding changes to the concrete containment structure over time is crucial to evaluate the structure's

Designing 3D printable cementitious materials with gel-forming polymers

December 11, 2020
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Hajar Taheri Afarani, William carroll, Joseph J. Biernacki
Cement based pastes for 3D printing applications were prepared using hydrogel-forming polymers. Preliminary results suggest that such gel-forming polymers can reduce the need for more complex admixture packages as printing aids. The influence of polymer
