The micro mechanisms of flexure damage at the notch tip in a three-dimensionally braided carbon/carbon composite (3D–C/C) were investigated in real-time through a Scanning Electron Microscopy. It was found that the damage was nucleated in the fibre bundle/matrix interface around the notch tip. The different damage modes were found in different directions of the 3D–C/C. The x-directional flexural specimens seem to be insensitive to the pre-notch while the z-directional flexural specimens seem to be sensitive to the pre-notch. Fibre yarns acted as an obstacle to crack propagation and it was necessary to increase the load to propagate the crack through the adjacent fibre yarn. Comparing with the x-directional flexural specimens, the forces could be better transmitted in z-directional flexural specimens because the fibres of z-direction bundles can tightly adjoin to each other.

Abstract This work presents advanced resistance mapping techniques based on Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with nanoprobing systems and the related embedded electronics. Focus is placed on recent advances to reduce noise and increase speed, such as integration of dedicated in situ electronics into the nanoprobing platform, as well as an important transition from current-sensitive to voltagesensitive amplification. We show that it is now possible to record resistance maps with a resistance sensitivity in the 10W range, even when the total resistance of the mapped structures is in the range of 100W. A reference structure is used to illustrate the improved performance, and a lowresistance failure case is presented as an example of analysis made possible by these developments.

The need for control of the elastic properties of architected materials has been accentuated due to the advances in modelling and characterization. Among the plethora of unconventional mechanical responses, controlled anisotropy and auxeticity have been promulgated as a new avenue in bioengineering applications. This paper aims to delineate the mechanical performance of characteristic auxetic and anisotropic designs fabricated by multiphoton lithography. Through finite element analysis the distinct responses of representative topologies are conveyed. In addition, nanoindentation experiments observed in-situ through scanning electron microscopy enable the validation of the modeling and the observation of the anisotropic or auxetic phenomena. Our results herald how these categories of architected materials can be investigated at the microscale.
