An effective correction model is proposed to eliminate the refraction error effect caused by an optical window of a furnace in digital image correlation (DIC) deformation measurement under high-temperature environment. First, a theoretical correction model with the corresponding error correction factor is established to eliminate the refraction error induced by double-deck optical glass in DIC deformation measurement. Second, a high-temperature DIC experiment using a chromium–nickel austenite stainless steel specimen is performed to verify the effectiveness of the correction model by the correlation calculation results under two different conditions (with and without the optical glass). Finally, both the full-field and the divisional displacement results with refraction influence are corrected by the theoretical model and then compared to the displacement results extracted from the images without refraction influence. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed theoretical correction model can effectively improve the measurement accuracy of DIC method by decreasing the refraction errors from measured full-field displacements under high-temperature environment.
The residual stresses of the PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) specimens after being drilled, reamed and polished
respectively are investigated using the digital speckle correlation experimental method,. According to the displacement
fields around the correlated calculated region, the polynomial curve fitting method is used to obtain the continuous
displacement fields, and the strain fields can be obtained from the derivative of the displacement fields. Considering the
constitutive equation of the material, the expression of the residual stress can be presented. During the data processing,
according to the fitting effect of the data, the calculation region of the correlated speckles and the degree of the
polynomial fitting curve is decided. These results show that the maximum stress is at the hole-wall of the drilling hole
specimen and with the increasing of the diameter of the drilled hole, the residual stress resulting from the hole drilling
increases, whereas the process of reaming and polishing hole can reduce the residual stress. The relative large discrete
degree of the residual stress is due to the chip removal ability of the drill bit, the cutting feed of the drill and other
various reasons.
Cancellous bone is a widespread structure in a creatural body, for instance, in the femoral head and spondyle. The damage evolution and crack growth of cattle cancellous bone were studied under three-point-bending load conditions. A series of speckle images with deformation information surrounding the crack tip were recorded, and the full-field displacement distributions were obtained at different loading levels by means of digital speckle correlation method (DSCM). Characterizations of the damage deformation and fracture of cancellous bone were analyzed. These results provide some useful information for studying the fracture behavior of cancellous bone.
Dynamic fracture process of the woven cloth reinforced composites under tensile load is studied by multi-spark high-speed photography with reflective arrangement. Crack trajectory at different instant is shown by the specimen-focused images. Some important fracture characteristics such as crack tip position; crack length and critical load are determined, and microscopic fracture mechanisms of woven composites are analyzed by SEM.
In the strain field measurements especially in large strain field measurements, usually the correlation coefficient values obtained by the digital speckle correlation method are very low due to the relative pixel movement of the subset. Thus the measuring error will be increased. A primary method, that is called compensation algorithm, is introduced for improving the correlation coefficient. A flow scheme with the compensation algorithm of our software is developed and some improving techniques for reducing the calculation error are discussed in the paper. After getting a set of displacement data with high correlation, a de-noise wavelet processing is adopted. It is obviously that the measuring accuracy of the strain field is much better than before. The error is 0.1 to 0.3 pixels less than before. A strain field of testing experiment is performed with this compensation technique. The correlation coefficients can increase from 0.70 to 0.99 and that will be of much benefit for the improvements of the measuring accuracy.
The deformation mechanism and the surface strain non- uniformities of the carbon fiber braided composites in low temperature cycle ranged from 0 degrees C to -40 degrees C by moire interferometry was described. A series of moire fringe patterns which reflect the thermal strain field of the braided composite are recorded. The relations between the fiber braided architecture and the degree of inhomogeneity of deformation are analyzed by the fringe waviness and the variation of fringe density. From the moire fringe patterns, it is obvious the higher shear strain was occur in the regions between braided yarns and a significant thermal expanding effects in fiber longitudinal and vertical direction. The strain distributions at 0-40 degrees C were presented and that the large strain nonuniformity as displaced and the maximum strain is 11 times higher than the average strain. From the experimental study moire interferometry is an effective research tool for the braided composite material.
De-noise effects of wavelet analysis technique on Digital speckle correlation method (DSCM) are described in this paper. The principle of wavelet de-noise in digital speckle correlation is shown and the related algorithm structure is given. A series of DSCM experimental results, such as zero displacement, rigid body movement and 3-point-bending deformation, are handled. These results reveal that Wavelet analysis technique has better de- noise effect in the DSCM and the measure precision can reach to 0.01-0.005 pixel. This advanced DSCM provides a precision deformation measurement tool in optical metrology.
