Scanning electron microscopy datasets for local fibre volume fraction determination in non-crimp glass-fibre reinforced composites.

ABSTRACT: The fatigue damage evolution depends on the local fibre volume fraction as observed in the co-submitted publication [1]. Conventionally, fibre volume fractions are determined as an averaged overall fibre volume fraction determined from small cuts of the laminate. Alternatively, automatically stitching of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images can make high-resolution scans of large cross-section area with large contrast between the polymer and glass-fibre phase. Therefore, local distribution of the fibre volume fraction can be characterised automatically using such scan-data. The two datasets presented here cover two large Field of Views scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. The two images is generated from between 1200 and 1800 high-resolution scan pictures which have been stitche
