Digital image correlation

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical and experimental investigation on unnotched and open-hole tensile characteristics of fiber-steered variable-axial composite laminates was conducted, where the fiber path was obtained from an optimization framework considering manufacturing characteristics of the Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) process.

TL;DR: In this article, the virtual fields method was employed to identify the constitutive parameters of anisotropic plasticity models using the finite deformation theory in order to account for large strains.

TL;DR: In this article, the deformation heterogeneity in terms of the strain ex map obtained through the DIC method was characterized by a broadened band that was inclined at an angle of 75°.

TL;DR: In this paper, the virtual crack extension field is optimized for the least noise sensitivity of a crack in a silicon carbide sample, whose displacement field is obtained by a digital image correlation technique.

TL;DR: In this article, in-situ high-temperature digital image correlation (DIC) and finite element simulation was used to reveal new critical delamination and fracture mechanisms of dense vertically cracked thermal barrier coatings (DVC TBCs).
