Abstract

Volumetric images of small mortar samples under load are acquired by X-ray microtomography. The images are binarized at many different threshold values, and over a million connected components are extracted at each threshold with a new, space and time efficient program. The rapid increase in the volume and surface area of the foreground components (cracks and air holes) is explained in terms of a simple model of digitization. Analysis of the data indicates that the foreground consists of thin, convoluted manifolds with a complex network topology, and that the crack surface area, whose increase with strain must correspond to the external work, is higher than expected.
