From: The effect of differential mineral shrinkage on crack formation and network geometry
3D visualizations of the interior and drying shrinkage deformation of a specimen with 20% montmorillonite distributed within the framework during the experimental dehydration period, where (a–d) shows the growth of the crack network in 3D, and (e,f) shows the reduction of the undamaged material zone (shrinking dark columns) and evolution of the drying front. The undamaged data for the initial sample is not shown as  93% of the sample remains undamaged. Data are visualized with Dragonfly Pro software, Version 2020.2 for [Windows] from ORS13.
