Fig. 2

Variations of local volumetric strain at six peripheral points on the sample surface at the midpoint of the specimen perpendicular to the loading direction. Expansion is considered positive. An X-ray CT image of a horizontal cross section through the sample obtained after the experiment is superimposed. The strike of the vertical cross section examined in this study is indicated by the thick white line, and the thick white arrow shows the direction from which the cross section is viewed in the other figures
