G. Requena:
"Linking properties and architecture in heterogeneous lightweight materials";
TU Wien, 2010.

In the present overview, ten publications are presented for which the characterization of the internal architecture of heterogeneous lightweight materials has been essential to understand their mechanical, thermo-mechanical and/or physical behaviour. Special emphasis is put on the experimental techniques of synchrotron tomography to describe the three-dimensional microstructure and on synchrotron/neutron diffraction to study the internal stresses developed in these materials.
The multiphase materials have been subjected to different kinds of external conditions such as thermal treatments, thermal cycling, compressive plastic deformation and creep deformation. The evolution of microstructural parameters such as morphology, volume fraction, distribution, interconnectivity, orientation and contiguity of phases under these external conditions is analyzed and the influence on their macroscopical behaviour is discussed.
