Starting from the seminal works of Toupin, Mindlin and Germain, a wide class of generalized
elastic models have been proposed via the principle of virtual work, by postulating …

With the advent of camera‐based full‐field measurement techniques such as digital image
correlation (DIC), researchers have been trying to exploit such rich data sets through the use …

Digital image correlation is utilized to characterize deformation and strain fields developed
within the layers of density-graded multilayered foam structures subjected to uniaxial quasi …

Abstract Digital Image Correlation (DIC) has emerged as a pivotal non-contact, full-field
deformation measurement method over the past four decades, witnessing a remarkable …

Producing dynamic ruptures in the laboratory allows us to study fundamental characteristics
of interface dynamics. Our laboratory earthquake experimental setup has been successfully …

Vibro-impact (VI) based control strategies exploit non-linear phenomena occurring during
impacts between oscillating masses and vibrating structures to mitigate vibrations. They are …

Rate-dependent behaviour characterization of metals at high strain rate remains challenging
mainly because of the strong hypotheses when tests are processed with statically …

The last few decades have seen great achievements in dynamic fracture mechanics. Yet, it
was not possible to experimentally quantify the full-field behavior of dynamic fractures, until …

Background Digital image correlation (DIC) is a powerful experimental tool for measuring full-
field material deformations. Inherent limitations of typical DIC algorithms can cause a …

This paper proposes an experimental approach to measure contact forces in a two-
dimensional system composed of cylindrical particles using the Virtual Fields Method (VFM) …
