Image-Based Crack Morphology Characterisation for Electrical Failure Analysis in Conductive Polymer Composites
Abstract: Electrical performance in conductive polymer composites is strongly governed by crack-network evolution, yet failure analysis typically relies on qualitative image inspection or electrical anomaly detection in isolation. This work proposes an end-to-end framework that converts optical/SEM crack imagery into a standardised crack morphology signature and quantitatively links it to electrical degradation indicators. A two-stage learning strategy is adopted: crack-representation pretraining using the public Concrete Crack Images for Classification dataset, followed …
