This papers presents recent progress with materials investigations via in situ mechanical testing at the synchrotron, so called 4D experiments. More automated and more integrated stress rigs now allow to produce new kind of data sets to study deformation and fracture of structural materials. Two recent examples are presented, one with a polymer material and another one with a polycrystalline metallic alloy. Challenges with data organisation and storage and automatic analysis are discussed in the view of the upgrade of the main synchrotron sources which will greatly increase the number and size of the future data sets.

结构材料的原位4D机械测试：数据挑战

本文介绍了通过同步加速器的原位机械测试进行材料研究的最新进展，即所谓的4D实验。现在，更自动化，更集成化的应力设备可以产生新的数据集，以研究结构材料的变形和断裂。提出了两个最近的例子，一个例子是聚合物材料，另一个例子是多晶金属合金。鉴于主要同步加速器源的升级将讨论数据组织，存储和自动分析的挑战，这将大大增加未来数据集的数量和规模。
