It is critical to measure the static and dynamic deformation of the micro beam over their full range of voltage and frequency inputs, which are key parameters for predicting device behavior. In this study, full-field technique by correlation of projected fringe patterns is selected to determine static deformation, while dynamic parameters can be obtained by DIC with high-speed CMOS camera, whose maximal frame rate is 32k f/s. The static tests of micro beams are carried out by applying electric field forces under different dc voltage, while the dynamic tests are excited by harmonic excitations. Using the DIC method, the whole field in-plane or out-of-plane displacements of the micro beams are obtained, and hence the dynamic characteristics by post-processing of vibration analysis. Experimental results including the bending deformation and vibration parameters are reported and compared with finite element method. This study verifies the feasibility of this technique to measure both static and dynamic characteristics of MEMS components.

In this paper, the dynamic deformation and rupture of pre-notched thin metal plates subjected to confined blast loading were investigated. The thin copper plates with cross-shape pre-notch were clamped on the end of a confined cylinder vessel by a cover flange. An explosive charge with a mass of 4g was detonated in the vessel center to generate blast load acting on the metal plates. The images of metal plates were recorded by two high-speed cameras. The displacement and strain fields during the deformation and rupture process were measured by using 3D digital image correlation (3D DIC). The effects of pre-notches on the dynamic deformation and rupture of thin metal plates were analyzed. The microstructure of fracture surface was examined The 3D DIC technique is proven to be an effective method to conduct dynamic full-field deformation measurement.

The present study is aimed at understanding the effects of thermal shock and associated microstructural features on the dynamic deformation mechanisms in Ti2AlC, a Mn+1AXn phase ternary ceramic. These materials crystallize in a Hexagonal Close Packed (HCP) structure with a c/a ratio greater than 1.67 which results in kink band formations when subjected to loading. In this work, we report the microstructural changes associated with thermal shocking of Mn+1AXn phases and its effects on deformation mechanisms, under dynamic compressive loading. The specimens are heated to temperatures of 220, 550 and 900°C, held at each temperature for 5–10 minutes, and subsequently quenched in water at 20°C to induce thermal shock. The thermal shock resistance and its effect on mechanical properties is investigated by subjecting heat treated specimens to compressive loading at high strain rates (∼1000–4500 s−1) using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB). The microstructures of thermally shocked specimens are characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) combined with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis to reveal the surface morphologies and characteristics. The displacements during the deformation events are captured using in situ high speed imaging, with full-field 2D Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique. The key microscale mechanisms of deformation are studied using SEM analysis of deformed/fractured specimens.

Experimental characterization and validation of skin components in aircraft entails multiple evaluations (structural, aerodynamic, acoustic, etc.) and expensive campaigns. They require different rigs and equipment to perform the necessary tests. Two of the main dynamic characterizations include the energy absorption under impact forcing and the identification of modal parameters through the vibration response under any broadband excitation, which also includes impacts. This work exploits the response of a stiffened aircraft composite panel submitted to a multi-impact excitation, which is intended for impact and energy absorption analysis. Based on the high stiffness of composite materials, the study worked under the assumption that the global response to the multi-impact excitation is linear with small strains, neglecting the nonlinear behavior produced by local damage generation. Then, modal identification could be performed. The vibration after the impact was measured by high-speed 3D digital image correlation and employed for full-field operational modal analysis. Multiple modes were characterized in a wide spectrum, exploiting the advantages of the full-field noninvasive techniques. These results described a consistent modal behavior of the panel along with good indicators of mode separation given by the auto modal assurance criterion (Auto-MAC). Hence, it illustrates the possibility of performing these dynamic characterizations in a single test, offering additional information while reducing time and investment during the validation of these structures.

The Split Hopkinson Bar (SHB) technique is used for high strain rate testing of T800/F3900 composite in compression, tension and shear. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is used for measuring the full-field deformation on the surface of the specimen by using Shimadzu HPV-X2 high-speed video camera. Compression tests have been done on specimens machined from a unidirectional laminate in the 0°and 90° directions. Tensile tests were done in the 90° direction. Shear tests were done by using a notched specimen in a compression SHB apparatus. To study the effect of strain rate, quasi-static testing was also done using DIC and specimens with the same geometry as in the SHB tests. The results show that the DIC technique provides accurate strain measurements even at strains that are smaller than 1%. No strain rate effect is observed in compression in the 0° direction and significant strain rate effects are observed in compression and tension in the 90° direction, and in shear.

Welding is one of the most popular joining technologies in industry. Depending on the materials to be joined, the geometry of the parts and the number of parts to be joined, there is a wide variety of methods that can be used. These joining techniques share a common feature: the material in the weld zone experiences different thermo-mechanical history, resulting in significant variations in material microstructure and spatial heterogeneity in mechanical properties. To optimize the joining process, or to refine the design of welded structures, it is necessary to identify the local mechanical properties within the different regions of the weld. The development of full-field kinematic measurements (digital image correlation, speckle interferometry, etc.) helps to shed a new light on this problem. The large amount of experimental information attained with these methods makes it possible to visualize the spatial distribution of strain on the specimen surface. Full-field kinematic measurements provide more information regarding the spatial variations in material behaviour. As a consequence, it is now possible to quantify the spatial variations in mechanical properties within the weld region through a properly constructed inverse analysis procedure. High speed tensile tests have been performed on FSW aluminium welds. The test was performed on an MTS machine at a cross-head speed of up to 76 mm/s. Displacement fields were measured across the specimen by coupling digital image correlation with a high-speed camera (Phantom V7.1) taking 1000 frames per second. Then, through the use of the virtual fields method it is possible to retrieve the mechanical parameters of the different areas of the weld from the strain field and the loading. The elastic parameters (Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio) are supposed to be constant through the weld. Their identification was carried out using the virtual fields method in elasticity using the data of the early stage of the experiment. Assuming that the mechanical properties (elastic and plastic) of the weld are constant through the thickness, the plastic parameters were identified on small sections through the specimen, using a simple linear hardening model. This method leads to a discrete identification of the evolution of the mechanical properties through the weld. It allows the understanding of the slight variations of yield stress and hardening due to the complexity of the welding process.

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively characterize the compressive and damage behavior of a woven fiberglass composite under combined environmental loading. Cuboidal samples of a commercially available woven fiberglass epoxy resin composite, garolite G10, are examined under uniaxial compressive loading perpendicular to the plies at quasi-static (10−3 s−1) and dynamic (103 s−1) strain rates using a standard load frame and Kolsky (split-Hopkinson) bar. In order to simulate environmental conditions, a subset of samples were soaked in either distilled or ASTM standard seawater prior to loading. Two time periods of environmental conditioning were investigated: short term at two weeks and long term at four months. Results demonstrate that, on average, the dynamic compressive strength of the fiberglass increased 35% from the quasi-static. Moreover, environmentally treated samples generally experienced a decrease strain to failure, and composites exposed to water for only short periods exhibited signs of the absorbed water sustaining additional load under quasi-static rates. Ultra-high-speed photography combined with digital image correlation, a full-field surface kinematic measurement technique, is used to map 2D strains on the sample during loading. In all cases, a clear shear failure mechanism from local instabilities appears, and a Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion is used to extract a mesoscale cohesive shear stress and coefficient of internal friction.

Polymer closed cell foam beam specimens manufactured from H100 Divinycell (Diab) are tested in four point bend at three loading speeds using a specially designed rig and an Instron VHS test machine. Synchronised high speed images are captured using white light and infra-red thermography (IRT) to obtain the mid-point full-field deflection and strains using digital image correlation (DIC) along with the temperature evolutions. There is a marked increase in the maximum load to failure with loading rate and the optical techniques provide an opportunity to analyse the strain and temperature evolution within the specimens.

Examination of the behavior of materials under very high speed plastic deformation are widely used during the designing process of dynamically loaded steel structures. Steel is widely used as a basic material for designing engineering structures. Characteristics of steel obtained under static experiments are different from those obtained during static tests.

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.
