Tomographic image analysis of reinforcement distribution in composites using a flexible and material’s specialist-friendly computational environment

•Dataset size & computing time limit the use of CT materials characterization.•A Problem-Solving Environment (PSE) for composites CT imaging has been developed.•Running on a PC with GPGPUs (General Purpose Graphical Processing Units).•Able to be used by a Materials Scientist, non-specialist in Computer Science.•The PSE is used to determine the spatial distribution of reinforcements in MMCs.
