Among the full-field optical measurement methods, the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is
one of the techniques which has been given particular attention. Technically, the DIC …

Piezoelectric material transducers can work as an actuator or sensor. Generally, the actuator
will be used to repair the structure, and the sensor will be used to find the health condition. In …

The initiation and propagation of short cracks are critical to the detailed understanding of the
failure mechanisms of engineering materials and structures. Therefore, for a safety critical …

We provide the first direct comparisons, to our knowledge, of complex 3D micro cracking
initiation and propagation in heterogeneous quasi-brittle materials modelled by the phase …

This paper presents a novel methodology for the experimental quantification of the crack tip
plastic zone during fatigue crack growth. It is based on the application of yielding criteria to …

In the past two decades, crack-tip mechanics has been studied increasingly using full-field
techniques. Within these techniques, Digital Image Correlation (DIC) has been most widely …

The quantitative characterization of crack tip loads is fundamental in fracture mechanics.
Although the potential influence of higher order terms on crack growth and stability is known …

In recent years, digital image correlation has been widely used in the analysis of crack
problems. This review will examine digital image correlation, as a full‐field measurement …

In the field of structural health monitoring, the use of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) on
relevant surfaces offers remarkable advantages. Such a method is presented herein. The …

In fracture mechanics, the use of experimental tests are fundamental to characterize the
material properties in terms of crack initiation and propagation behavior. When modeled in …
