Current DIC methods applied to bodies undergoing large displacements and rotations require a large measurement area for both the reference (i.e., undeformed) image and the deformed images. This can limit the resulting resolution of the displacement and strain fields. To address this issue, we propose a two-stage dynamic DIC method capable of measuring displacements and strains under material convection with high resolution. During the first stage, the reference image is assembled from smaller, high-resolution images of the undeformed object obtained using a spatially-fixed or moving frame. Following capture, each sub-image is rigidly translated and rotated into its appropriate place, thereby producing a full, high-resolution image of the reference body. In stage two, images of the loaded and deformed body, again obtained using a small camera frame with high resolution, are aligned with matching regions of the undeformed composite image using BRISK feature detection before performing DIC. We demonstrate the method on a contact problem whereby an elastomeric roller travels along a rigid surface. In doing so, we obtain fine-resolution measurements of the state of strain of the region of the roller sidewall in contact with the substrate, even as new material convects through the region of interest. We present these measurements as a series of images and videos capturing strain evolution as the roller transitions from static loads to a fully dynamic steady-state, documenting the effectiveness of the method.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14311,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Solids and Structures","volume":"306 ","pages":"Article 113096"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142440996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A non-negative variable is defined as an indicator of the member stress state, and a complementary function is constructed to address the discontinuity issues that arise from the unidirectional axial stiffness of cables. Dynamic formulas are established within this force-density framework, with nodal coordinates selected as generalized parameters and formulations constructed in a matrix form. A complementary framework is established as an alternative for solving the dynamic equations, transforming the isolated steps of Newton’s iteration and cable state judgment (slack or tension) into a unified one, bringing more potential for improving solving efficiency. Numerical simulations are carried out to validate the approach, demonstrating that it effectively reveals the dynamic oscillation, tension changes, and cable slack behavior of clustered tensegrity structures during shape control. Comparative studies highlight the advantage of computational efficiency. The method proposed in this paper provides a robust mathematical model for studying clustered tensegrity structures, particularly regarding the shape control of deployable, active, and intelligent structures, aiding in understanding dynamic oscillation, tension changes, and cable slack behavior during their deformation.

The cells contain an inner region and an outer region, each with different deformation characteristics. For example, the inner region is a stretching-dominated simple cubic (SC) unit cell, while the outer region is a bending-dominated body-centered cubic (BCC) unit cell. Specifically, both stiffness and strength isotropy can be simultaneously realized. The proposed lattice metamaterial exhibits intriguing feature of dual stress plateaus. These plateaus can be effectively controlled by adjusting the geometric parameters of inner and outer regions, which enables these lattice metamaterials to hold promising application prospects in the energy absorption scenarios, such as vehicle and pedestrian protection.

This work has developed a novel constitutive model based on irreversible thermodynamics to account for functional fatigue with tension–compression asymmetry. A potential function, defined as a weighted sum of two potentials that are calibrated against the tensile and compressive responses respectively, is employed to generate the asymmetric responses, and functional fatigue is represented by degradation of superelastic properties and growth of plastic strain as martensitic transformation accumulates.
