As a carrier of deformation information, the speckle pattern, or more exactly the random
intensity distributions, which could be naturally occurred or artificially fabricated onto test …

Advanced experimental and numerical approaches are being developed to capture the
localization of plasticity at the nanometer scale as a function of the multiscale and …

Metallic materials experience irreversible deformation with increasing applied stress,
manifested in localized slip events that result in fatigue failure upon repeated cycling. We …

The recent combination of scanning electron microscopy and digital image correlation (SEM-
DIC) enables the experimental investigation of full-field deformations at much smaller length …

Surface observations are used to elucidate the deformation mechanisms responsible for the
superplastic effect in Ti–6Al–4V. High-temperature in-situ tests for tensile and shear …

Additively manufactured 316L stainless steels display significantly higher yield strength than
their as-cast or wrought counterparts. This is associated with the micro-scale cellular …

Damage during cycling loading of polycrystalline metallic alloys involves localized plastic
straining at the scale of individual grains. To better understand damage accumulation …

Damage during loading of polycrystalline metallic alloys is localized at or below the scale of
individual grains. Quantitative assessment of the heterogeneous strain fields at the grain …

The microstructural configurations that favor early strain localization and fatigue crack
initiation at intermediate and high temperature (400° C–650° C) have been investigated …

Herein, a comprehensive review on the application of digital image correlation (DIC) for
investigations of strain localization phenomena in the field of materials science and …
