Abstract
Because of their microstructure, carbon fibre reinforced polymers outperform conventional materials in many aspects. These materials are, given the low x-ray absorption contrast they provide, ideally suited for phase contrast x-ray computed tomography. For system prototyping and for benchmarking and testing acquisition and reconstruction procedures, computer simulations are a valuable tool. In this paper, we propose the application of an alternative simulation strategy that unites Monte Carlo simulations with numerical wave optics and involves detailed modelling of the internal carbon fibre reinforced polymer structure down to the individual fibre scale.
