Measurement of the speed of crack propagation in a PE pipe

A well mapped crack propagation mechanism is the basis for accurate lifetime prediction of various components. While crack propagation rate measurement techniques are relatively well developed for metallic materials and the mechanisms are well described, this is not the case for polymeric materials. This work focuses on the measurement of crack propagation rate in various…

Local deformation mapping with 4D STEM software

4D STEM is an advanced transmission electron microscopy technique that simultaneously records a 2D diffraction pattern for each individual image point. Analysis of these patterns can then provide a wealth of information about the phase composition, crystallographic orientation and spatial distribution of microscopic deformations. During the internship the student will learn the basics of data…

Explanatory models for the interactive development of scientific theories

Machine learning methods are already a common part of scientific practice. However, the most accurate models are currently black-box models, where it is not easy to determine how the model works. It is possible that even accurate predictions are based on misinterpretation of data, for example due to incomplete training data. Explanable machine learning models…
