Data from: Detecting damage in composites using volume decomposition analysis of tomographic data

This dataset contains X-ray computed tomographic data of a ceramic matrix
composite (CMC) single tow mini-composite specimen collected at four
tensile load levels (40, 80, 120, 160 N). The specimen was prepared from
Hi-Nicalon™ Type S (HNS) fibres with an average diameter of 12 microns
(Nippon Carbon Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), which were coated through a
chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) process with boron nitride (BN).
Subsequently the fibres were overlaid with a silicon carbide (SiC) matrix
also applied via the CVI process. The sample was loaded in situ at the
Advanced Light Source at the Berkeley National Laboratory in Beamline
8.3.2, where X-ray scans were collected at four tensile load levels, i.e.,
40, 80, 120 and 160 N. Tomographic data collection was carried out in
white light mode with photon energy of 43 keV, with 180 degree rotation
and 1024 steps. The voxel size in reconstructions was 0.67 µm and image
files were output as 32 bit.
