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":"66 11","pages":""},"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":"96 9","pages":""},"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":" ","pages":""},"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}

However, the presence of macro‐ and micro‐residual stresses in MMC coatings can have detrimental effects, such as reducing service life. In this study, neutron diffraction was used to determine the residual stresses in spherical fused tungsten carbide (sFTC) reinforced Cu matrix composite surface deposits after laser melt injection. We also developed a thermo‐mechanical coupled finite element model to predict residual stresses. Our findings reveal that sFTC/Cu composite deposits produced with a preheating temperature of 400°C have low residual stresses, with a maximum tensile residual stress of 98 MPa in the Cu matrix on the top surface. In contrast, the sFTC/bronze (CuAl10Ni5Fe4) composite deposit exhibits very high residual stresses, with a maximum tensile residual stress in the Cu matrix on the top surface reaching 651 MPa. These results provide a better understanding of the magnitudes and distributions of residual stresses in sFTC‐reinforced Cu matrix composite surface deposits manufactured via laser melt injection.","PeriodicalId":51176,"journal":{"name":"Strain","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49439833","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}

Cracks in real components often experience multiaxial far field stresses due to their complex geometry and composite loadings acting on it. Digital image correlation (DIC) is well established for crack length and displacement measurements, but it usually requires sample preparation with speckle paint and interferes with mechanical extensometers. To overcome these limitations, we use a novel 2D DIC system combining a graphics processing unit (GPU) with a CoaXPress 2.0 camera, acquiring up to 3 GB/s of image data. It enables real‐time evaluation of both integral strain like an extensometer and full‐field DIC on images selected automatically in real‐time. This combination enables the use of one single sensor for strain‐controlled testing and fatigue crack growth characterisation. The full‐field displacement is compared to a finite‐element model (FEM) simulating the actual crack contour measured by the DIC system. The results show that high‐performance DIC has the potential to simultaneously simplify crack‐growth experiments and provide comprehensive fracture mechanical information.","PeriodicalId":51176,"journal":{"name":"Strain","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41386486","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}
