Bright-field microscopy suffers from a relatively small depth-of-field. Typically, the specimen’s profile covers a range larger than the depth-of-field, and parts of the specimen that lie outside the object plane appear blurred. The specimen can be ‘scanne ...
Ultra-High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) have high mechanical strengths (fU,c > 150 MPa, fU,t > 6 MPa) and exhibit quasi-strain hardening in tension. Their very low permeability prevents the ingress of detrimental substances. In composite ...
Microscopy imaging often suffers from limited depth-of-focus. However, the specimen can be “optically sectioned” by moving the object along the optical axis; different areas appear in focus in different images. Extended depth-of-focus is a fusion algorithm ...
A multiscale approach to composite failure, in which detailed information on small-scale micromechanics is incorporated approximately yet accurately into larger-scale models capable of simulating extensive damage evolution and ultimate failure, is applied ...
The tensile failure of fiber-reinforced composites in 2D (l-ply) and thin multi-ply samples has been studied numerically in order to assess the role of dimensionality on the absolute magnitude, reliability, and size scaling of composite strength. Single-pl ...

The present paper presents an overview of the work of the RILEM Technical Committee 159-ETC on the engineering of the interfacial transition zone in cementitious composites. The object of this committee was to resolve the practical influences of the interf ...
Given two video sequences, a composite video sequence can be generated which includes visual elements from each of the given sequences, suitably synchronized and represented in a chosen focal plane. For example, given two video sequences with each showing ...
Microstereolithography is a technique that allows the manufacture of small and complex three-dimensional (3D) components in plastic material. Many of the components produced by this technique are too small and too complex to be replicated by molding and, c ...
This paper introduces a system for video object extraction useful for general applications where foreground objects move within a slow changing background. Surveillance of indoor and outdoor sequences is a typical example. The originality of the approach r ...
