Overview

This novel method measures moisture transport in porous materials, suggesting higher accuracy than gravimetric techniques.

Key Points

  • The displacement-based method accurately measures capillary rise, especially during the initial phase.
  • Results indicate the method eliminates errors from surface tension effects, improving measurement accuracy.
  • Digital Image Correlation effectively quantifies the relationship between water absorption and material deformation.
  • The approach allows for larger sample testing and enables spatially resolved moisture analysis.
