From: The effect of differential mineral shrinkage on crack formation and network geometry
The total crack percent volume (left y-axis) and percent volume of the undamaged zones (right y-axis) in a CB-SK10 geo-architected sample that was monitored for > 130 h of moisture loss with a Zeiss Xradia 3D X-ray Microscope at ambient relative humidity and an average system temperature of 28 °C. The data obtained show that an increase in the volume and distribution of cracks naturally results in a reduction of the zones within the structure where no damage has occurred. Here the solid line relates to the left y-axis and the dashed line is associated with the right y-axis.
