Dynamic response is an important consideration for design of structures due to operating or occasional loadings. The resulting dynamic stress strain is also of concern for fatigue and structural health monitoring. Typically, the actual loading and structural condition (boundary conditions, environmental condition, geometry, mechanical properties, etc.) are not necessarily known. Much effort is expended in attempting to identify the loads and appropriate model for prediction of these types of events. At best, the forces and actual boundary conditions are approximate and have an effect on the overall predicted response and resulting stress-strain that is identified for subsequent evaluation.Experimental data can only be obtained from limited sets of points, such as those typically collected with accelerometers. These are normally used in the evaluation the state of a structure in service condition. More recently, Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and Dynamic Photogrammetry (DP) have become very important techniques to measure the surface response. These are non-contact and full-field techniques, which allow that much more simultaneous data to be measure. The sets of limited surface data that are collected can be used in conjunction with an expansion algorithm to obtain full field information. The finite element model mass and stiffness matrices are used to obtain the normal constitutive relations as well as the modal characteristics. This information is used to develop the expansion algorithm and for the stress recovery during the back substitution process typically employed.

Constitutive Material

In order to develop a constitutive material model and to verify its consistency when implemented in a computational code, it is necessary to understand the material and to carry out a comprehensive experimental analysis. This can be a challenging task in the case of composite materials and structures, such as masonry, when using conventional measurements. Strain gauges and allow recording strains at a limited number of discrete points and do not provide sufficient amount of data, thus increasing the cost of the analysis. From that reason a full-field non-contact measurements, such as Digital Image Correlation (DIC), became very popular and valuable for analysis of structures subjected to mechanical loading and precise detection of the onset of strain localization. The presented study deals with tracking the strain localization using DIC in the case of masonry piers loaded by the combination of bending and compression. In such case the strain localizes into more compliant mortar joints while the complete collapse occurs when the masonry blocks fail to transfer tensile stress due to transversal expansion. The obtained data will be used for the validation of a finite element model to predict the behavior of masonry structures.

Nanoscale silicon film electrodes in Li-ion battery undergo great deformations leading to electrochemical and mechanical failures during repeated charging-discharging cycles. In-situ experimental characterization of the stress/strain in those electrodes still faces big challenges due to remarkable complexity of stress/strain evolution while it is still hard to predict the association between the electrode cycle life and the measurable mechanical parameters. To quantificationally investigate the evolution of the mechanical parameters, we develop a new full field 3D measurement method combining digital image correlation with laser confocal profilometry and propose a strain criterion of the failure based on semi-quantitative analysis via mean strain gradient (MSG). The experimental protocol and results illustrate that the revolution of MSG correlates positively with battery capacity decay, which may inspire future studies in the field of film electrodes.

Continuing advances in mechanobiology reveal more and more that many cell types, especially those responsible for establishing, maintaining, remodelling or repairing extracellular matrix, are extremely sensitive to their local mechanical environment. Indeed, it appears that they fashion the extracellular matrix so as to promote a ‘mechanical homeostasis’. A natural corollary, therefore, is that cells will try to offset complexities in geometry and applied loads with heterogeneous material properties in order to render their local environment mechanobiologically favourable. There is a pressing need, therefore, for hybrid experimental–computational methods in biomechanics that can quantify such heterogeneities. In this paper, we present an approach that combines experimental information on full-field surface geometry and deformations with a membrane-based point-wise inverse method to infer full-field mechanical properties for soft tissues that exhibit nonlinear behaviours under finite deformations. To illustrate the potential utility of this new approach, we present the first quantification of regional mechanical properties of an excised but intact gallbladder, a thin-walled, sac-like organ that plays a fundamental role in normal digestion. The gallbladder was inflated to a maximum local stretch of 120% in eight pressure increments; at each pressure pause, the entire three-dimensional surface was optically extracted, and from which the surface strains were computed. Wall stresses in each state were predicted from the deformed geometry and the applied pressure using an inverse elastostatic method. The elastic properties of the gallbladder tissue were then characterized locally using point-wise stress–strain data. The gallbladder was found to be highly heterogeneous, with drastically different stiffness between the hepatic and the serosal sides. The identified material model was validated through forward finite-element analysis; both the configurations and the local stress–strain patterns were well reproduced.

Uniaxial tensile tests were conducted on high strength steel 600 (HS600) in Split-Hopkinson Tension Bar at different strain rates in the range of 1100 to 3200s-1and in electromechanical universal testing machine at the strain rate of 1.1×10-3s-1. Digital image correlation was used together with high-speed photography to obtain full-field displacement and strain in the tensile specimens at dynamic strain rate tests. This high strength steel shows significant strain rate sensitivity. Based on the experimental results, the material parameters of Johnson-Cook model are determined. This model fits the experimental data well in the plastic zone.

Constitutive Properties

Accurate three-dimensional stress-strain constitutive properties are essential for understanding of complex deformation and failure mechanisms for glass-fiber and carbon-fiber reinforced polymer-matrix composites. A large number of different methods and specimen types, which are currently required to generate three-dimensional allowables for structural design, slow down material characterization. Also, some of the material constitutive properties are never measured due to prohibitive cost of the specimens needed. This work shows that simple short-beam shear specimens are well-suited for measurement of 3D constitutive properties for composite systems. In particular, a methodology to measure tensile and compressive material properties, generate shear stress-strain curves and measure the shear strength in a simple short beam shear test will be presented. The methodology is based on the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) full-field deformation measurement. Short-beam and curved-beam tests are accomplished to generate 3D stress-strain response for glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy tape composite material systems. Accuracy of constitutive properties is also verified using standard methods and data available in the public domain.

Damage Law

Two different mechanical tests are performed on a laminated composite coupon to induce an anisotropic damage affecting essentially shear modulus softening. The first test is a uniaxial tension loading on a straight coupon, which is used to evaluate the damage law using a conventional approach, while the second contains a notch that enhances dramatically the strain (and hence damage) heterogeneity. A global digital image correlation approach is used to quantify the kinematic fields all along the loading path of the second experiment. Displacement fields are hence evaluated based on a finite element type discretization. A further exploitation based on the reconditioned equilibrium gap method (and without any further information) gives access to a quantitative measurement of the damage law. The latter approach makes use of a finite element model based on the very same mesh and element shape function. This full-field-based identification method compares very well with traditional techniques, up to the stage where macroscopic localization prevents their subsequent exploitations. Moreover, it is shown that neither the type of mechanical test, nor the discretization of the displacement field, affects the identification of the damage law.

Properties Of Composites

Advanced polymeric composites are increasingly used in high-performance aircraft structures to reduce weight and improve efficiency. However, a major challenge delaying the implementation of the advanced composites is the lack of accurate methods for material characterization. Accurate measurement of three-dimensional mechanical properties of composites, stress–strain response, strength, fatigue, and toughness properties, is essential in the development of validated analysis techniques accelerating design and certification of composite structures. In particular, accurate measurement of the through-thickness constitutive properties and interlaminar tensile (ILT) strength is needed to capture delamination failure, which is one of the primary failure modes in composite aircraft structures. A major technical challenge to accurate measurement of ILT properties is their strong sensitivity to manufacturing defects that often leads to unacceptable scatter in standard test results. Unacceptable failure mode in standard test methods is another common obstacle to accurate ILT strength measurement. Characterization methods based on non-contact full-field measurement of deformation have emerged as attractive alternative techniques allowing more flexibility in test configuration to address some of the limitations inherent to strain gauge-based standard testing. In this work, a method based on full-field digital image correlation (DIC) measurement of surface deformation in unidirectional open-hole compression (OHC) specimens is proposed and investigated as a viable alternative to assessing ILT stress–strain, strength, and fatigue properties. Inverse identification using a finite element model updating (FEMU) method is used for simultaneous measurement of through-thickness elastic constants with recovery of the maximum ILT stress at failure for characterization of strength and fatigue S–N curves.

Strain Behavior

Experimental investigation is conducted to examine, evaluate, and characterize the fundamental elastic-plastic stress/strain response of friction stir-welded butt joints in thin-sheet, fine grain Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy under normal tensile loading using traditional global stress-strain tensile testing and the full-field displacement measurement techniques of Digital Image Correlation (DIC). It was found that overall strength of friction stir-welded Ti-6Al-4V is comparable to the accepted values for mill-annealed Ti-6Al-4Valloy. Overall strain performance of friction stir-welded Ti-6Al-4V is roughly half that of the accepted values for pure mill-annealed Ti-6Al-4V. In addition, friction stir-welded Ti-6Al-4V demonstrates a consistent pattern of strain localization between the onset of yielding and ultimate failure.
