..., where the porous region can undergo larger deformation due to the reduced stiffness of the material. FEA obtains the key parameters affecting the pore layout. The digital image correlation (DIC) experiment verifies the design strategy. The results show that, compared to the solid substrate, the porous...

... PPMC volume. The experimental setup with a heating stage and digital image correlation (DIC) was used to measure thermal strains on the surface of the PPMC plate. Optical microscopy was then used to measure FOD in the cross section of the PPMC plate. FOD measurements from optical microscopy imagery...

... developed, which scale ductility between different specimen sizes. Traditionally, these ductility laws rely on testing multiple different specimens of varying sizes to obtain material parameters, often done by varying gauge lengths. With the use of digital image correlation (DIC), this study presents...

... to the application of a (variable) displacement constraint and characterized by a corresponding probe force. This probe force (in this study located at the center of the rectangular panels) is measured using a load cell and the resulting shape(s), taken up by the panel, measured using digital image correlation (DIC...

... to snap-through buckling. Moreover, experiments were carried out using 3D Digital Image Correlation (3D-DIC) for measuring whole-field deflection and strains. Numerical analysis was carried out, using generalized Eigen value analysis and non-linear analysis using a modified-Riks technique with various...

... quantification of the temporal evolution of dynamic shear ruptures. Our newly developed approach based on digital image correlation combined with ultrahigh-speed photography has revolutionized the capabilities of measuring highly transient phenomena and enabled addressing key questions of rupture dynamics...

... instruments. The optical measuring method using digital image correlation (DIC) is extensively investigated in the literature (see, e.g., Ref. [ 14 ]). Therefore, it seems feasible to use the new optic instruments to determine the whole strain-displacement fields for the damaged elastic-plastic material...

... helmet BFD that can be correlated to injury criteria. In this study, helmet performance test methodology is developed using a digital image correlation (DIC) technique. DIC provides the capability to measure dynamic displacements, thereby providing the ability to calculate deformation, velocity...

... initiation angle mixed mode fracture digital image correlation As applied loading is seldom controlled in practice, it is common for a mixed mode stress field to develop in the vicinity of a notch or crack tip in a material. In general, this will involve all three modes of crack deformation: Modes...
