- The properties of the fibre/matrix interface contribute to stiffness, strength and fracture behaviour of fibre-reinforced composites. In cellulosic composites, the limited affinity between the hydrophilic fibres and the hydrophobic thermoplastic matrix remains a challenge, and the reinforcing capability of the fibres is hence not fully utilized. A direct characterisation of the stress transfer ability through pull-out tests on single fibres is extremely cumbersome due to the small dimension of the wood fibres. Here a novel approach is proposed: the length distribution of the fibres sticking out of the matrix at the fracture surface is approximated using X-ray microtomography and is used as an estimate of the adhesion between the fibres and the matrix. When a crack grows in the material, the fibres will either break or be pulled-out of the matrix depending on their adhesion to the matrix: good adhesion between the fibres and the matrix should result in more fibre breakage and less pull-out of the fibres than poor adhesion. The effect of acetylation on the adhesion between the wood fibres and the PLA matrix was evaluated at different moisture contents using the proposed method. By using an acetylation treatment of the fibres it was possible to improve the strength of the composite samples soaked in the water by more than 30%.

- An improved method based on X-ray microtomography is developed for estimating fibre length distribution of short-fibre composite materials. In particular, a new method is proposed for correcting the biasing effects caused by the finite sample size as defined by the limited field of view of the tomographic devices. The method is first tested for computer generated fibre data and then applied in analyzing the fibre length distribution in three different types of wood fibre reinforced composite materials. The results were compared with those obtained by an independent method based on manual registration of fibres in images from a light microscope. The method can be applied in quality control and in verifying the effects of processing parameters on the fibre length and on the relevant mechanical properties of short fibre composite materials, e.g. stiffness, strength and fracture toughness.

Swelling of cellulose fibres in composite materials: Constraint effects of the surrounding matrix

- Wood fibres have several highly desirable properties as reinforcement in composite materials for structural applications, e.g. high specific stiffness and strength, renewability and low cost. However, one of the main drawbacks is the swelling of these hydrophilic fibres due to moisture uptake. Since the fibres in the composite are generally embedded in a relatively hydrophobic matrix, the surrounding matrix should restrain the swelling of the fibres. The present study investigates this constraint effect and establishes a micromechanical model to predict the swelling of embedded fibres based on experimentally characterised microstructural parameters and hygroelastic properties of the constituents. The predicted swelling is in concert with direct measurement of various wood-pulp fibre composites by means of three-dimensional X-ray microtomographic images. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

- We present a new approach to approximate continuous-domain mathematical morphology operators. The approach is applicable to irregularly sampled signals. We define a dilation under this new approach, where samples are duplicated and shifted according to the flat, continuous structuring element. We define the erosion by adjunction, and the opening and closing by composition. These new operators will significantly increase precision in image measurements. Experiments show that these operators indeed approximate continuous-domain operators better than the standard operators on sampled one-dimensional signals, and that they may be applied to signals using structuring elements smaller than the distance between samples. We also show that we can apply the operators to scan lines of a two-dimensional image to filter horizontal and vertical linear structures.

- This paper proposes a way of better approximating continuous, two-dimensional morphologyin the discrete domain, by allowing for irregularly sampled input and output signals. We generalizeprevious work to allow for a greater variety of structuring elements, both flat and non-flat. Experimentallywe show improved results over regular, discrete morphology with respect to the approximation ofcontinuous morphology. It is also worth noting that the number of output samples can often be reducedwithout sacrificing the quality of the approximation, since the morphological operators usually generateoutput signals with many plateaus, which, intuitively do not need a large number of samples to be correctlyrepresented. Finally, the paper presents some results showing adaptive morphology on irregularlysampled signals.

- This paper proposes an extension of mathematical morphology on irregularly sampled signals to 3D point clouds. The proposed method is applied to the segmentation of urban scenes to show its applicability to the analysis of point cloud data. Applying the proposed operators has the desirable side-effect of homogenizing signals that are sampled heterogeneously. In experiments we show that the proposed segmentation algorithm yields good results on the Paris-rue-Madame database and is robust in terms of sampling density, i.e. yielding similar labelings for more sparse samplings of the same scene.

- Mathematical morphology (MM) on grayscale images is commonly performed in the discretedomain on regularly sampled data. However, if the intention is to characterize or quantify continuousdomainobjects, then the discrete-domain morphology is affected by discretization errors that may bealleviated by considering the underlying continuous signal, given a correctly sampled bandlimited image.Additionally, there are a number of applications where MM would be useful and the data is irregularlysampled. A common way to deal with this is to resample the data onto a regular grid. Often this createsproblems where data is interpolated in areas with too few samples. In this paper, an alternative way ofthinking about the morphological operators is presented. This leads to a new type of discrete operatorsthat work on irregularly sampled data. These operators are shown to be morphological operators thatare consistent with the regular, morphological operators under the same conditions, and yield accurateresults under certain conditions where traditional morphology performs poorly
