Study of image characteristics on digital image correlation error assessment

Image Matching Error Assessment in Digital Image Correlation

Using concepts from statistics and probability theory and a least squares matching metric, the effects of various parameters on image plane motion measurements are demonstrated. Specifically, theoretical formulae defining the effect of noise in the intensity pattern, image contrast and interpolation method on both bias and variability in one-dimensional motion measurements are presented. Image ...

On the Use of Acoustic Emission and Digital Image Correlation for Welded Joints Damage Characterization

A series of tests have been conducted to investigate fatigue damage characterization in corroded welded steel plates using structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques. Acoustic Emission (AE) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique with potential applications for locating and monitoring fatigue cracks in service. In the present work, AE is implemented to characterize damage during crack e...

Digital Image Correlation

Quality assessment of speckle patterns for digital image correlation

Digital image correlation (DIC) is an optical-numerical full-field displacement measuring technique, which is nowadays widely used in the domain of experimental mechanics. The technique is based on a comparison between pictures taken during loading of an object. For an optimal use of the method, the object of interest has to be covered with painted speckles. In the present paper, a comparison i...

Study On The Deformation Band Characteristics In Mild Steel Using Digital Image Correlation

This study investigates the strain localizations associated with Lüders deformation in mild steel using digital image correlation (DIC), a non contact, nondestructive, full field measurement technique for strain mapping. The focus is on the two substantial areas of interest such as shear deformation accompanying strain localization during Lüders instability and the complex morphology of Lüders ...
