In this work parametric modelling was utilized to design and produce two types of porous microarchitectures with auxetic compressive properties suitable for deformation energy mitigation applications such as blast and bullet protection. The samples were directly produced from acrylic material using a high resolution 3D printer and their compressive mechanical characteristics were tested. Two different structures exhibiting in-plane negative strain dependent Poisson’s ratio were selected for the analysis: i) two-dimensional inverted (re-entrant) honeycomb and ii) two-dimensional cut missing-rib. Stress-strain relationships were established from a set of quasi-static compression experiments where the strain fields were evaluated using digital image correlation applied to measure the full-field displacements on the samples' surface. From the displacement fields true strain – true stress curves were derived for each sample and relative elastic moduli were evaluated.

Corrugated boards with small flutes appear as good alternatives to replace packaging folding boards or plastic materials due their small thickness, possibility of easy recycling and biodegradability. Boxes made up of these materials have to withstand significant compressive loading conditions during transport and storage. In order to evaluate their structural performance, the box compression test is the most currently performed experiment. It consists in compressing an empty container between two parallel plates at constant velocity. Usually it is observed that buckling phenomena are localized in the box panels, which bulge out during compression [1]. At the maximum recorded compression force, the deformation localises around the box corners where creases nucleate and propagate. This maximum force is defined as the quasi-static compression strength of the box. The prediction of such strength is the main topic of interest of past and current research works. For example, the box compression behaviour of boxes was studied by Mc Kee et al. [2] and Urbanik [3], who defined semi-empirical formula to predict the box compression strength, as well as by Beldie et al. [4] and Biancolini et al. [5] by finite element simulations. But comparisons of these models with experimental results remain rather scarce and limited.

In this paper, a power-law strain-dependent variable order is first incorporated into the fractional constitutive model and employed to describe mechanical behaviors of aluminum foams under quasi-static compression and tension. Comparative results illustrate that power-law strain-dependent variable order is capable of better describing stress–strain responses compared with the traditional linear one. The evolution of fractional order along with the porosities or relative densities can be well qualitatively interpreted by its physical meaning. Furthermore, the model is also extended to characterize the impact behaviors under large constant strain rates. It is observed that fractional model with sinusoidal variable order agrees well with the experimental data of aluminum foams with impact and non-impact surfaces.

Abstract Among the full-field optical measurement methods, the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is one of the techniques which has been given particular attention. Technically, the DIC technique refers to a non-contact strain measurement method that mathematically compares the grey intensity changes of the images captured at two different states: before and after deformation. The measurement can be performed by numerically calculating the displacement of speckles which are deposited on the top of object’s surface. In this paper, the Two-Dimensional Digital Image Correlation (2D-DIC) is presented and its fundamental concepts are discussed. Next, the development of the 2D-DIC algorithms in the past 33 years is reviewed systematically. The improvement of 2DDIC algorithms is presented with respect to two distinct aspects: their computation efficiency and measurement accuracy. Furthermore, analysis of the 2D-DIC accuracy is included, followed by a review of the DIC applications for two-dimensional measurements.

Tensile tests were performed in order to identify the stiffness components of superconducting windings in the shape of rings (also called ‘double pancakes’). The stereo image correlation technique was used for full-field displacement measurements. The strain components were then obtained from the measured displacement fields by numerical differentiation. Because differentiation is very sensitive to spatial noise, the displacement maps were fitted by polynomials before differentiation using a linear least-square method. Then, in the orthotropy basis, the four in-plane stiffnesses of the double pancake were determined using the Virtual Fields Method.

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.

Abstract We propose a full-field stereo digital image correlation (DIC) strain measurement method in order to overcome the poor accuracy while measuring the deformation under large rotations. Such drawback comes from the missing of considering rotation movements of the deformed objects when calculating their strain values. To address that, we first used a DIC matching algorithm combined with rotated subset and feature point detection to obtain displacement fields. By employing a singular value decomposition (SVD) method, we then can calculate rotation matrices of the strain windows before and after deformations. Finally, in order to eliminate the strain errors caused by rotation, we introduced the rotation matrices into the classical pointwise least square (PLS) DIC strain calculation method. Both numerical simulations and experiments are performed, and the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method are confirmed by the experimental results.

ABSTRACTMEMS-scale polycrystalline silicon 2 μm thin film specimens fabricated via the Multi User MEMS Processes (MUMPs) have been employed to obtain the non-uniform nanometric displacement fields in the vicinity of prefabricated circular and elliptical micron-sized perforations. For the hole diameter-to-specimen width ratios considered in this work, and for all practical purposes, the displacement solution for a hole in an infinite plate is applicable. This method requires the ability to reliably and repeatably acquire nanometer level displacements on freestanding thin films. These tensile tests were conducted by a custom microtensile tester with the aid of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and a special gripper that makes use of electrostatically assisted UV adhesion to handle and load miniature MEMS specimens. This non-conventional procedure for material parameter determination relies on Digital Image Correlation (DIC) to compare two AFM images, one before and one after specimen loading, and thus compute the nanometer level displacement fields (<50 nm global displacements) in 15×15-μm2 (or smaller) areas, with better than 2–3 nm resolution in displacements. By posing and solving a non-linear least squares inverse problem where, for known applied loads and measured displacement fields in an infinite plate with either a circular or an elliptical hole, it is possible to recover the elastic modulus (E). The main advantage of this approach is the full utilization of high-resolution displacement measurements over a specific specimen area, using only measurements acquired at one load level. Further statistical measurements of material properties may be obtained at varying load levels.
