3D Imaging in Mechanics of Materials

The methods presented in this book are imaging methods, ie they allow to obtain an image of the sample. We present the most useful materials science methods, ie one that has been most recently used to be linked to the analysis of material properties.

The book presents some of the methods most widely applied to materials science:
• tomographic probe,
• subsequent, mechanical or FIB polishing
• electron tomography,
• X-ray tomography
