The "planar" digital image correlation technique needs a single CCD camera to acquire the surface patterns of a zone of a specimen in the undeformed and deformed states.With these two images, one can determine in-plane displacement and strain fields. The digital image correlation technique used herein is based on Fast Fourier Transforms, which are very effective in reducing the computation cost. Its performance is assessed and discussed on artificial signals and in a real experimental situation. The technique is utilized to analyze experimental results of a plane shear experiment and validate a damage meso-model describing different degradations in a C/C composite material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
