Abstract
Precise determination of the remaining service life of technical components requires sufficient knowledge of fatigue crack growth behaviour and the growth rate of defects. Cracks in real components often experience multiaxial far field stresses due to their complex geometry and composite loadings acting on it. Digital image correlation (DIC) is well established for crack length and displacement measurements, but it usually requires sample preparation with speckle paint and interferes with mechanical extensometers. To overcome these limitations, we use a novel 2D DIC system combining a graphics processing unit (GPU) with a CoaXPress 2.0 camera, acquiring up to 3 GB/s of image data. It enables real‐time evaluation of both integral strain like an extensometer and full‐field DIC on images selected automatically in real‐time. This combination enables the use of one single sensor for strain‐controlled testing and fatigue crack growth characterisation. The full‐field displacement is compared to a finite‐element model (FEM) simulating the actual crack contour measured by the DIC system. The results show that high‐performance DIC has the potential to simultaneously simplify crack‐growth experiments and provide comprehensive fracture mechanical information.
期刊介绍:
Strain is an international journal that contains contributions from leading-edge research on the measurement of the mechanical behaviour of structures and systems. Strain only accepts contributions with sufficient novelty in the design, implementation, and/or validation of experimental methodologies to characterize materials, structures, and systems; i.e. contributions that are limited to the application of established methodologies are outside of the scope of the journal. The journal includes papers from all engineering disciplines that deal with material behaviour and degradation under load, structural design and measurement techniques. Although the thrust of the journal is experimental, numerical simulations and validation are included in the coverage.
Strain welcomes papers that deal with novel work in the following areas:
experimental techniques
non-destructive evaluation techniques
numerical analysis, simulation and validation
residual stress measurement techniques
design of composite structures and components
impact behaviour of materials and structures
signal and image processing
transducer and sensor design
structural health monitoring
biomechanics
extreme environment
micro- and nano-scale testing method.
