Dynamic Material Characterization Using Digital Image Correlation

摘要

Digital Image Correlation is a non-contact optical technique for measuring the full-field deformation on the surface of a deforming specimen. The technique was initially used in quasi-static experiments, but with the development of high speed digital cameras is used also in dynamic experiments. This use of the Digital Image Correlation technique in several dynamic experiments is presented. This includes the compression and tensile split Hopkinson bar tests, a shear test for specimens made of sheet metal, a dynamic punch test, tensile test of Kevlar cloth and Kevlar yarn, and an intermediate strain rate test in compression.
