One material is a glass/epoxy laminate and the other is a carbon/epoxy laminate. The voxel size is 1.1 µm, which allows clear recognition of the glass fibers, but not distinct individual carbon fibers. For each material, four loading steps are selected with approximately 0, 40, 73, and 95% of the failure load, and the 3D images of the four volumes from each material are overlaid. A volume of interest in the middle 0° ply is chosen and located in the 3D image of each loading step (Fig. 1). The cropped volumes of interest for each material are presented in this publication and are publicly available on Mendeley Data[1]. As examples of two frequently-used type of unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites, the presented data can be used for different microstructural analyses, including investigation of the 3D variability in fiber distribution and orientation, and their evolution during tensile loading. For example, we have performed fiber orientation analysis on this data, using our digital image correlation-based technique, in [2]. Moreover, real-time formation of fiber breaks with tensile loading can be investigated in the data.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "A dataset of micro-scale tomograms of unidirectional glass fiber/epoxy and carbon fiber/epoxy composites acquired via synchrotron computed tomography during in-situ tensile loading (Original data) (Mendeley Data).", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:33490322", "locator": "sections[8] \"Data Availability\" paragraph 2", "quote": "A dataset of micro-scale tomograms of unidirectional glass fiber/epoxy and carbon fiber/epoxy composites acquired via synchrotron computed tomography during in-situ tensile loading (Original data) (Mendeley Data)."}], "state": "complete"}], "gaps": []}, "experiment": {"state": "partial", "objective": null, "steps": [{"id": "read_published_estimate", "order": 1, "name": "Read the published estimate from the source", "kind": "other", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The claim, method and evidence span published with the source article.", "duration_hours": null, "parameters": {}, "inputs": ["source:pmid:33490322"], "outputs": ["the published estimate and its evidence"], "instruments": [], "reagents": []}, {"id": "obtain_source_data", "order": 2, "name": "Obtain the source data from the named repository", "kind": "data-preparation", "state": "blocked", "blocked_on": "data:accession_absent", "description": "The GEO series accession resolves and its sample accessions are listed.
