Materials Interactive

This site aims to demonstrate some of the work of the Centre for Materials Measurement and Technology, using interactive Internet technologies such as Java and VRML.

Surfaces View surfaces in 3D Model ply cracking in composites, and see the results in 3D Laminate Damage
EBSP 3D visualisation of Electron Backscattered Patterns Some experimental examples of visualisation Experimental
Educational Resources Educational resources developed for the Institute of Physics Links to other sites of interest Links

Browser Requirements

Materials Interactive makes extensive use of plug-in capabilities that may not be available by default in all web browsers, such as Java and VRML. We recommend that you use Netscape Navigator 4 or Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, and you will need CosmoPlayer 2.1 or Cortona. You will find that some of the interactive simulations using Java and VRML will not work using Netscape 6 or 7 and Cortona. If you do not know whether your computer has the required software, simple press the button below to find out.

The site is best viewed using a screen resolution of 800x600 or higher, although it will work at lower resolutions.
