This work aims to determine the orthotropic linear elastic constitutive parameters of Pinus pinaster Ait. wood from a single uniaxial compressive experimental test, under quasi-static loading conditions, based on two different specimen configurations: (a) on-axis rectangular specimens oriented on the radial-tangential plane, (b) off-axis specimens with a grain angle of about 60(radial-tangential plane). Using digital image correlation (DIC), full-field displacement and strain maps are obtained and used to identify the four orthotropic elastic parameters using the finite element model updating (FEMU) technique. Based on the FE data, a synthetic image reconstruction approach is proposed by coupling the inverse identification method with synthetically deformed images, which are then processed by DIC and compared with the experimental results. The proposed methodology is first validated by employing a DIC-levelled FEA reference in the identification procedure. The impact of the DIC setting parameters on the identification results is systematically investigated. This influence appears to be stronger when the parameter is less sensitive to the experimental setup used. When using on-axis specimen configuration, three orthotropic parameters of Pinus pinaster (ER, ET and νRT) are correctly identified, while the shear modulus (GRT) is robustly identified when using off-axis specimen configuration.

In this work, a new experimental methodology for analyzing the drop impact response is assessed using a pair of high-speed digital cameras and 3D digital image correlation software. Two different test boards are subjected to Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) standard free-fall impact conditions of half-sine pulse of 1500 G in magnitude and 0.5 ms in duration. The drop is monitored using a pair of synchronized high-speed cameras at a rate of up to 15,000 frames per second. The acquired images are subsequently analyzed to give full-field dynamic deformation, shape, and strain over the entire board during and after impact. To validate this new methodology for analyzing the impact response, the in-plane strain as well as the out-of-plane acceleration at selected locations were measured simultaneously during the drop using strain gauge and accelerometers and were compared with those obtained using high-speed cameras and 3D digital image correlation presented in this paper. Comparison reveals excellent correlation of the transient behavior of the board during impact and confirms the feasibility of using the full-field measurement technique used in this study.

Polyurethane foams have good energy absorption properties and are effective in protecting sensitive components from damages due to impact. The foam absorbs impact energy by crushing cells and undergoing large deformation. The complex deformation of the foam needs to be modeled accurately to simulate the impact events. In this paper, the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique was implemented to obtain the deformation field of foam specimens under compression tests. Images of foam specimen were continuously acquired using high-speed cameras. The full field displacement and strain at each incremental step of loading were calculated from these images. The closed-cell polyurethane foam used in this investigation was nominal 0.32 kg/m^3 (20 pcf). In the first experiment, cubic specimens were compressed uniaxially up to 60%. The full-field displacements and strains obtained using the DIC technique provide detailed information about the inhomogeneous deformation over the area of interest during loading. In the second experiment, compression tests were conducted for a simple foam structure - cubic foam specimens with a steel cylinder inclusion. The strain concentration at the interface between steel cylinder and foam was studied to simulate the deformation of foam in a typical application. In the third experiment, the foam was loaded from the steel cylinder during the compression. The strain concentration at the interface and the displacement distribution over the surface were compared for cases with and without a confinement fixture to study the effects of confinement. These experimental results demonstrate that the DIC technique can be applied to polyurethane foams to study the heterogeneous deformation. The experimental data is briefly compared with the results from modeling and simulation using a viscoplastic model for the foam.

The aim of the work is to demonstrate how an anisotropic damage model may be identified from full field measurements retrieved during a heterogeneous test. The example of a biaxial test performed on a 3D C / C composite is used. In a first step, the displacement fields measured by classical Digital Image Correlation are used as input data of a finite difference version of the Equilibrium Gap Method. A benefit from unloadings (assumed to be elastic) is shown to retrieve a damage law. In a second step, inelastic strains can be assessed from the total measured strain and the elastic estimated strains. The constitutive parameters relative to the inelastic part of the model are then identified.

The reliability for each measurement technique depends on the knowledge of it’s uncertainty and the sources of errors of the results. Among the different techniques for optical measurement techniques for full field analysis of displacements and strains, digital image correlation (DIC) has been proven to be very flexible, robust and easy to use, covering a wide range of different applications. Nevertheless the measurement results are influenced by statistical and systematical errors. We discuss a 3D digital image correlation system which provides online error information and the propagation of errors through the calculation chain to the resulting contours, displacement and strains. Performance tests for studying the impact of calibration errors on the resulting data are shown for static and dynamic applications.

Digital image correlation (DIC) is a kind of displacement and strain measurement technique. It can realize non-contact and full-field measurement and is widely used in the testing and research of mechanical properties of materials at high temperatures. However, many factors affect measurement accuracy. As the high temperature environment is complex, the impact of heat waves on DIC is the most significant factor. In order to correct the disturbance in DIC measurement caused by heat waves, this paper proposes a method based on the background-oriented schlieren (BOS) technique. The spot pattern on the surface of a specimen in digital image correlation can be used as the background in the background-oriented schlieren technique. The BOS technique can measure the distortion information of the images caused by heat flow field. The specimen images taken through the heat waves can be corrected using the distortion information. Besides, the characteristics of distortions due to heat waves are also studied in this paper. The experiment results verify that the proposed method can effectively eliminate heat wave disturbances in DIC measurements.

This paper is a critical review of in situ full-field measurements provided by digital image correlation (DIC) for inspecting and enhancing additive manufacturing (AM) processes. The principle of DIC is firstly recalled and its applicability during different AM processes systematically addressed. Relevant customisations of DIC in AM processes are highlighted regarding optical system, lighting and speckled pattern procedures. A perspective is given in view of the impact of in situ monitoring regarding AM processes based on target subjects concerning defect characterisation, evaluation of residual stresses, geometric distortions, strain measurements, numerical modelling validation and material characterisation. Finally, a case study on in situ measurements with DIC for wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is presented emphasizing opportunities, challenges and solutions.

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) provides measurements without disturbing the specimen, which is a major advantage over contact methods. Additionally, DIC techniques provide full-field maps of response quantities like strains and displacements, unlike traditional methods that are limited to a local investigation. In this work, an experimental application of DIC is presented to investigate a problem of relevant interest in the civil engineering field, namely the interface behavior between externally bonded fabric reinforced cementitious mortar (FRCM) sheets and concrete substrate. This represents a widespread strengthening technique of existing reinforced concrete structures, but its effectiveness is strongly related to the bond behavior between composite fabric and underlying concrete. To investigate this phenomenon, a set of notched concrete beams are realized, reinforced with FRCM sheets on the bottom face, subsequently cured in different environmental conditions (humidity and temperature) and finally tested up to failure under three-point bending. Mechanical tests are carried out vis-à-vis DIC measurements using two distinct cameras simultaneously, one focused on the concrete front face and another focused on the FRCM-concrete interface. This experimental setup makes it possible to interpret the mechanical behavior and failure mode of the specimens not only from a traditional macroscopic viewpoint but also under a local perspective concerning the evolution of the strain distribution at the FRCM-concrete interface obtained by DIC in the pre- and postcracking phase.
