In this paper, DIC algorithm is recalled, and suitable controlling parameters are introduced to improve the accuracy of the output displacement fields and to remove the grey level variations induced by an air‐water flow percolating through a Fontainebleau sand. In addition, an in‐depth investigation on the full‐field volumetric strain maps is conducted in order to extract the hidden relationship between the front propagation and the strains evolution.","PeriodicalId":51176,"journal":{"name":"Strain","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141349123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large specimen testing often requires two different scales. A global Far Field to obtain boundary conditions and a local Near Field to evaluate strain gradients around discontinuities such as bolts, notches… The main goal of this study is to provide a continuous displacement over the whole specimen surface integrating data from multiple cameras. In this paper, we propose a new methodology that generates 3D displacements determined by finite‐element stereo digital image correlation in the Near Field and in the Far Field using a unique fractal speckle pattern and an off‐line determined texture. The displacements are obtained in the same coordinate system and on the same mesh. Satisfactory data fusion from both Near Field and Far Field images of a biaxial test on a notched laminate composite was obtained with a refined mesh at the notch tip. This methodology can be applied to any tests requiring multiple camera systems and will support the use of the finite‐element digital image correlation framework as an experimental‐numerical efficient technique.","PeriodicalId":51176,"journal":{"name":"Strain","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140975139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, understanding the time dependence of their mechanical response is critical to the design of structures subjected to these high strain rate environments. However, characterising these materials on microsecond time scales has proven challenging. Traditional experimental techniques rely on satisfying a number of limiting assumptions and typically do not provide direct measurements of the material parameters. Here, we propose a novel implementation of the image‐based inertial impact (IBII) test to extract viscoelastic constitutive parameters on these microsecond time scales using the stress gauge implementation of the virtual fields method. We validate the experiment using a digital replica approach in which the constitutive parameters are first extracted on a finite element model of an IBII test on a viscoelastic material. The finite element data are then used to synthetically deform computer‐generated grid images, which are then polluted with grey‐level noise to simulate the images that would be captured in a real‐life experiment. These images are processed identically to a physical experiment, and the identification is repeated using the full‐field displacements extracted from the computer‐generated images to determine the ideal processing parameters. Parameter identification was found to strongly depend on the processing parameters used to extract the kinematic fields from full‐field images, emphasising the need for computational validation before attempting a physical experiment to extract constitutive parameters. The IBII experimental method was found to be capable of simultaneously identifying the bulk modulus and the shear modulus along with their associated time constant.","PeriodicalId":51176,"journal":{"name":"Strain","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140991516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These foams find extensive utility in contexts demanding compliance and compressibility, such as impact protection and cushioning, spanning a diverse range of applications. Changing temperature can dramatically alter foam stiffness, strength and deformation characteristics specifically around the material's glassy‐rubbery transition temperature (). With the aim of informing new constitutive model developments for elastomeric foams, we conducted a comprehensive series of large deformation, homogeneous compression and tension tests across strain rates from 10−2 s−1 to 100 s−1 and ambient temperatures ranging from −10°C to 50°C covering an even range around the material's of 20°C. To achieve precise control of ambient temperatures during mechanical testing, we constructed a custom‐designed environmental chamber for controlling the ambient temperature from −10°C to 50°C with a variation of less than 1°C. The obtained digital image correlation based stress‐strain data shows significant tension‐compression asymmetry as well as significant dependence on strain rate and ambient temperature, especially above and below the glass transition temperature. We provide full access to these data sets for the future development of rate‐ and temperature‐dependent constitutive models.","PeriodicalId":51176,"journal":{"name":"Strain","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140997735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, spatially varying speckle pattern quality and displacement field complexity ideally necessitate a location‐specific optimal subset size to obtain a favourable compromise between noise suppression and spatial resolution. Although dynamic subset selection (DSS) methods have been proposed based on speckle pattern quality metrics (SPQMs), they do not ensure such a favourable compromise.This work investigates using an artificial neural network (ANN) for DSS. An ANN is trained to predict the displacement error standard deviation of a subset from multiple SPQMs and the standard deviation of image noise, such that the smallest subset offering sufficient noise suppression, dictated by a displacement error standard deviation threshold, is appointed.Validation, both within and outside the domain of the training images, shows that the smallest subset providing sufficient noise suppression offers a favourable compromise for up to moderate displacement gradients. Additionally, the proposed method is shown to perform with greater consistency and reliability relative to existing SPQM‐based DSS methods.The novel proposition lies in utilising an ANN as an error prediction tool, based on multiple SPQMs, and hence, is an attractive alternative for DSS.","PeriodicalId":51176,"journal":{"name":"Strain","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138953113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The former calculates loads using linear‐elastic stresses, the latter requires elastic‐plastic evaluation parameters, such as stresses and strains. These can be determined by finite element analysis (FEA) with a linear‐elastic constitutive law, and subsequent conversion to elastic‐plastic loads, using the macro support formula by Neuber. In this contribution, an alternative approach to approximate elastic‐plastic parameters proposed by Glinka is compared to the the strain‐life method using Neuber's formula, as well as the stress‐life method of Basquin. Several component tests on 42CrMoS4‐QT specimens are investigated. To determine the input data for the fatigue strength evaluations, the entire test setup is computed by FEA. The nodal displacements from these validated full‐model simulations are used as boundary conditions for a submodel simulation of a notch, whose results serve as input for the fatigue strength assessments. It is shown that all approaches provide a reliable assessment of components. Our key result is that the strain‐life method using the concept by Glinka for notch stress computation, yields improved results in fatigue strength assessments.","PeriodicalId":51176,"journal":{"name":"Strain","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138954147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relationship between failure strain and the strain ratio can be determined experimentally using expansion due to compression tests with a tensile load (EDCT), in which a ductile pellet placed inside the tube is compressed axially so it expands in diameter and imposes a hoop strain on the tube. At the same time, a tensile load on the ends of the tube creates an axial strain. This study investigates the capabilities and limitations of EDCT tests using two devices that allow experiments to be performed on a standard tensile testing machine. The first device applies an axial force on the ends of the sample, and the second device applies an axial displacement. Tests on zirconium alloy tubes confirmed that the failure strain is dependent on the strain ratio and the metallurgical state of the material. EDCT tests can produce a range of strain ratios, but there is an upper limit on the strain ratio that can be obtained, and it is dependent on the plastic behaviour of the sample and the friction conditions between the components.","PeriodicalId":51176,"journal":{"name":"Strain","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48775850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
