The formation and the three-dimensional shape of slip bands in a fatigued dual phase steel were analyzed with the purpose of understanding the relation between fatigue crack initiation and the topography development on the specimen surface. Fatigue tests with small dog-bone-shaped specimens were conducted under fully reversed axial loading (R = -1) with a constant stress amplitude and were interrupted when the first slip bands occurred and at defined numbers of load cycles, respectively. Subsequently the surface topography of the specimen was investigated with a white light interferometer with hundredfold magnification and high numerical aperture (NA = 0.9) which allows analyzing the surface of individual grains. The results were confirmed by additional atomic force microscopy measurements. Based on this analysis the height, width and length of the slip bands are known at different stages of the fatigue process. The results obtained using white light interferometry and AFM, were checked by cutting individual slip bands with the help of focused ion beam thus revealing the true shape of the slip bands.

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.
