Using high-energy monochromatic X-rays of energy 66.4keV from the synchrotron radiation source, SPring-8, we have developed a system to perform a hybrid measurement of imaging of cracks and strain distribution around cracks. This system was applied to a fatigue crack made in a round bar made of carbon steel with a diameter of 4 mm. Computed tomography of the specimen gave the three-dimensional shape of a thumb-nail crack. High tensile strain ahead of the crack was measured at the applied maximum stress, while the strain on the crack face was low because of stress relief due to crack opening. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) increased near the crack tip under loading, and then decreased after unloading. The recoverable part of FWHM by unloading was caused by the steep distribution of the applied stress in the vicinity of the crack tip. The FWHM increased by plastic deformation does not change when unloaded. The measured distributions of the lattice strain and FWHM agreed well with those of the elastic and plastic strains calculated by the finite element method, respectively.

This article examines the relatively new fields of colour and shape trade marks. It was initially feared by some academics that the new marks would encroach on the realms of patent and copyright.  However, the traditional requirements of trade mark law, such as functionality and descriptiveness, have meant that trade marks in colour and shape are extremely hard to acquire if they do not have factual distinctiveness. As colour and shape trade marks have no special restrictions, it is proposed that the combination trade mark theory and analysis from the Diamond T case should be used as a way to make them more accessible. The combination analysis can be easily applied because every product has a three dimensional shape and a fourth dimension of colour.

Perceiving the shape of three-dimensional objects is essential for interacting with them in daily life. If objects are constructed from different materials, can the human visual system accurately estimate their three-dimensional shape? We varied the thickness, motion, opacity, and specularity of globally convex objects rendered in a photorealistic environment. These objects were presented under either dynamic or static viewing condition. Observers rated the overall convexity of these objects along the depth axis. Our results show that observers perceived solid transparent objects as flatter than the same objects rendered with opaque reflectance properties. Regional variation in local root-mean-square image contrast was shown to provide information that is predictive of perceived surface convexity.
