Synthetic X-ray Microtomographic Image Data of Fiber-reinforced Composites

Abstract

A new algorithm was developed to segment three-dimensional fibers in multi-directional fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) imaged using X-ray microtomography (µCT). Validation of the algorithm was performed using synthetic image stacks, which mimicked the quality and resolution of existing state-of-the-art X-ray systems. The synthetic image stacks used to validate the algorithm are included. Additionally included are .txt files containing the positions and diameters of each fiber cross-section within the image stacks and a README.txt file to explain further the contents of the .txt files. The reader is referred to the manuscript associated with this data set for further details regarding the generation of the data.
