The identification and understanding of fracture processes is a vital component in securing
engineering structures. By collecting data through experiments or simulations, the …

The alternate (stick-slip) cracking phenomenon in Poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) was
investigated using high-speed imaging and digital image correlation (DIC). PMMA is known …

The checkerboard constitutes the best pattern for in‐plane displacement and strain
measurement because it maximizes image gradient. The use of laser marking to deposit …

Background The pattern used in DIC directly influences the quality of the measurement
obtained with this technique, so it is of prime importance to optimize the geometry of the …

Using the criterion that a crack will extend along the direction of maximum circumferential
stress, this paper demonstrates the influence of the coupling between the crack-parallel T …

In this paper, a quasi in situ method is established to study the microstructural evolution and
deformation mechanism transition behavior of pure Ti under a high strain rate of 4000 s− 1 …

Mechanical characterization usually relies on standardized sample geometries where
homogeneous state of strain and stress are prescribed. Hence, many tests are required to …

To provide valuable information for the design of robust and reliable non destructive testing
(NDT) algorithms, combined time resolved Acoustic Emission (AE), Digital Image Correlation …

The analysis of coupled thermo-mechanical phenomena in solid media is a scientific topic
as old as it still presents as many new challenges. Motivated by practical engineering …

In the application of star sensors, there is a requirement to further expand the size of the
sunshade to improve stray light suppression. However, traditional rigid sunshades are …
