In this study a Dynamic Electronic Speckle Pattern Intereferometry (ESPI) method was applied to investigate deformation field of small industrial elements. In the proposed phase analysis method, the interference signal is considered in time domain and the phase was analyzed by Hilbert transform method. Two experiments were performed, with in-plane and out-of-plane sensitive systems in order to ...

A hot tear indicator based on the physics of solidification and deformation is presented. This indicator is derived using available data from computer simulation of solidification and solid deformation. Hot tears form when the mushy zone is starved of liquid feeding and deformed in tension. The unfed tensile deformation causes a small additional porosity. A physical model based on a mass balanc...

The discovery of quasicrystals three decades ago unveiled a class of matter that exhibits long-range order but lacks translational periodicity. Owing to their unique structures, quasicrystals possess many unusual properties. However, a well-known bottleneck that impedes their widespread application is their intrinsic brittleness: plastic deformation has been found to only be possible at high te...

To achieve geometric reconstruction from 3D datasets two complementary approaches have been widely used. On one hand the deformable model framework locally applies forces to t the data. On the other hand, the non-rigid registration framework computes a global transformation minimizing the distance between a template and the data. We rst show that applying a global transformation on a surface te...

We make use of a well-know deformation of the Poincaré Lie algebra in dimensions ( ) to construct the Poincaré Lie algebra out of the Lie algebras of the de Sitter and anti de Sitter groups, the generators of the Poincaré Lie algebra appearing as certain irrational functions of the generators of the de Sitter groups. We have obtained generalizations of this “anti-deformation” for the and cases ...

Small scale deformation monitoring using terrestrial laser scanning is gaining considerable attention mainly due to the high spatial resolution of the acquired data. The notion of this paper is to discuss the issues influencing the feasibility of laser scanning for deformation monitoring. Prior to any data collection it is critical to evaluate the scanner’s performance within a calibration sche...

A percolation theory based on variation of conductive filler fraction has been widely used to explain the behavior of conductive composite materials under both small and large deformation conditions. However, it typically fails in properly analyzing the materials under the large deformation since the assumption may not be valid in such a case. Therefore, we proposed a new three-dimensional perc...

A scaling analysis of the deformation of Arctic sea ice over a 3-day time period is performed for scales of 10 to 1000 km. The deformation field is derived from satellite radar data; it allows us to study how a very large solid body-the Arctic sea-ice cover-deforms under the action of heterogeneous forcing winds and ocean currents. The deformation is strongly localized at small scales, and can ...

In this paper we propose a nonlinear elasticity model of macromolecular conformational change (deformation) induced by electrostatic forces generated by an implicit solvation model. The Poisson-Boltzmann equation for the electrostatic potential is analyzed in a domain varying with the elastic deformation of molecules, and a new continuous model of the electrostatic forces is developed to ensure...

This paper reviews shearography and its applications for testing of aircraft composite structures and honeycomb-based specimen. Shearography is a laser-based interferometry in conjunction with the digital imaging processing technique for full-field measurement of surface deformation. It reveals defects in an object by looking for defect-induced deformation anomalies. It does not require special...
