[{"type":"conference","publication":"e-Journal of Nondestructive Testing","abstract":[{"text":"<jats:p>In-situ computed tomography (CT) experiments on materials with time-dependent mechanical behaviour are affected by relaxationinduced motion, which can lead to image blur and motion-related artefacts if scans are initiated before relaxation-induced motion has subsided. Scan start times are therefore commonly defined based on force relaxation or force-gradient criteria, although these signals do not directly quantify image-relevant specimen motion. In this work, a radiography-based approach is presented to estimate relaxation-induced motion via pixel shifts from projection images acquired prior to CT scans. These projection-based pixel shift estimates of relaxation-induced motion are related to scan-specific image blur observed in the reconstructed volumes. Thereby, a direct link between specimen motion during the scan and CT image quality is established. The method is demonstrated for thermo-mechanically loaded specimens with pronounced temperature-dependent material behaviour, where relaxation-induced motion persists over extended time scales. The results show that projection-based pixel shift estimation provides a physically meaningful and experimentally accessible basis for defining scan start criteria. CT acquisition can be initiated based on an allowable level of relaxation-induced motion, rather than waiting for mechanical equilibrium to be reached. The proposed approach therefore offers a direct, image-related framework for scan timing in in-situ CT experiments on time-dependent materials.</jats:p>","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","project":[{"name":"TRR 285 - Subproject C04","_id":"148"}],"_id":"65577","user_id":"114764","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1435-4934"]},"issue":"3","year":"2026","citation":{"mla":"Dargel, Alrik, et al. “In-Situ CT of Viscoelastic Plastic Materials: A Radiography-Based Lead Time Determination for Composite–Metal Joints at Elevated Temperature.” <i>E-Journal of Nondestructive Testing</i>, vol. 31, no. 3, NDT.net GmbH &#38; Co.
