Numerous digital image analysis techniques have been developed with regard to transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with the help of programming. DigitalMicrograph (DM, Gatan Inc., USA), which is installed on most TEMs as operational software, includes a script language to develop customized software for image analysis. Based on the DM script language, this work provides a script source listing for quantitative strain measurements based on a geometric phase analysis.

Fatigue fracture is the cyclic fracture phenomena at a very small local area near a crack tip. Therefore, the detailed quantitative experimental analysis about local cyclic strain distribution near a crack tip is prerequisite In order to make an effective parameter able to account for fatigue fracture problems. However, there are few reports on detailed quantitative experimental analysis of a local cyclic strain distribution near a crack tip, because of experimental difficulties. In this study, the distribution of local fatigue strains near a fatigue crack tip was in detail studied using by fine dot grid strain measurement method. From these results, a single parameter, which characterizes local fatigue strain field, was proposed. In addition, this parameter was applied to evaluate the fatigue crack propagation rate.

This paper investigates the framework of vision-based dense displacement and strain measurement of miter gates with the approach for the quantitative evaluation of the expected performance. The proposed framework consists of the following steps: (i) Estimation of 3D displacement and strain from images before and after deformation (water-fill event), (ii) evaluation of the expected performance of the measurement, and (iii) selection of measurement setting with the highest expected accuracy. The framework first estimates the full-field optical flow between the images before and after water-fill event, and project the flow to the finite element (FE) model to estimate the 3D displacement and strain. Then, the expected displacement/strain estimation accuracy is evaluated at each node/element of the FE model. Finally, methods and measurement settings with the highest expected accuracy are selected to achieve the best results from the field measurement. A physics-based graphics model (PBGM) of miter gates of the Greenup Lock and Dam with the updated texturing step is used to simulate the vision-based measurements in a photo-realistic environment and evaluate the expected performance of different measurement plans (camera properties, camera placement, post-processing algorithms). The framework investigated in this paper can be used to analyze and optimize the performance of the measurement with different camera placement and post-processing steps prior to the field test.

This paper presents ESPI system for the measurement of thermal expansion coefficient of STS430 up to 1,000$^{\circ}C$. Existing methods, strain gauge and moire have the limitation of contact to object and do not supply the coefficient up to 800$^{\circ}C$. There needs to measure the data up to 800$^{\circ}C$, because heat resistant materials have high melting temperature up to 1,000$^{\circ}C$. In previous studies related to thermal strain analysis, the quantitative results are not reported by ESPI at high temperature, yet. In-plane ESPI and vacuum chamber for the reduction of air turbulence and oxidation are designed for the measurement of the coefficient up to 1,000$^{\circ}C$and speckle correlation fringe pattern images are processed by commercial image filtering tool-smoothing, thinning and enhancement- to obtain quantitative results, which is compared with references data. The comparison shows two data are agreed within 4.1％ blow 600$^{\circ}C$ however, there is some difference up to 600$^{\circ}C$. Also, the incremental ratio of the coefficient is changed up to 800$^{\circ}C$. The reason is the phase transformation of STS430 probably begins at 800$^{\circ}C$.

This paper presents ESPI system for the measurement of thermal expansion coefficient of STS430 up to 1,00$0^{\circ}C$ . Existing methods, strain gauge and moire have the limitation of contact to object and do not supply the coefficient up to 80$0^{\circ}C$ . There needs to measure the data up to 80$0^{\circ}C$, because heat resistant materials have high melting temperature up to 1,000'E In previous studies related to thermal strain analysis, the quantitative results have not reported by ESPI at high temperature, yet. In-plane ESPI and vacuum chamber for the reduction of air turbulence and oxidation are designed for the measurement of the coefficient up to 1,00$0^{\circ}C$ and speckle correlation fringe pattern images are processed by commercial image filtering tool-smoothing, thinning and enhancement- to obtain quantitative results, which is compared with references data.

This paper proposes Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry(ESPI) for the quantitative buckling analysis of square tube, which is unable to be measured with previous methods. The quantitative buckling analysis in elasticity is important part to study strain-stress analysis of thick-plated tube and fatigue analysis. However, it is unsolved problem with theory and previous experimental method. The merits of ESPI, Whole-filed measurement and high accurate 3D-displacement measurement make it possible to determinate the buckling analysis in elasticity quantitatively.

Maintaining the integrity of the major equipment in nuclear power plants is critical to the safety of the structures. In particular, the soundness of the piping is a critical matter that is directly linked to the safety of nuclear power plants. Currently, the limit state of the piping design standard is plastic collapse, and the actual pipe failure is leakage due to a penetration crack. Actual pipe failure, however, cannot be applied to the analysis of seismic fragility because it is difficult to quantify. This paper proposes methods of measuring the failure strain and deformation angle, which are necessary for evaluating the quantitative failure criteria of the steel pipe elbow using an image measurement system. Furthermore, the failure strain and deformation angle, which cannot be measured using the conventional sensors, were efficiently measured using the proposed methods.

The purpose of this study was to develop an impact force measurement device in order to facilitate the acquisition of quantitative data for the analysis of various sporting events. The device was designed to include cylindrical aluminum supports of 220 mm diameter, which allows mounting and dismounting of the device on walls and frames. In addition, a hard sponge for impact absorption, as well as 4 springs, were attached to the plate. Both were attached to prevent psychological variables and injuries. When a subject applies force on the device, accurate data about the maximum repulsive force is acquired in real time, with a lag of only 0.001 s. The device was calibrated in four steps: (1) increase, (2) increase, (3) increase-decrease, and (4) increase-decrease. The maximum relative expanded uncertainty was 0.166%, indicating that the impact force measurement was sufficiently reliable. The proposed device can be applied to various sporting situations and is expected to be useful for studying kinetics.

In this paper, an in-plane deformation measuring system using a dual-beam shear interferometer was constructed to measure the in-plane deformation of the measuring object. The in-plane deformation of the object was quantitatively measured according to the load and surface treatment conditions of the object. We also verified the reliability of the proposed technique by simultaneously performing the technique with an electronic speckle pattern interferometry system (ESPI), which is another laser application measurement technology. Digital shearography directly measures the deformation gradient or strain components and has the advantages of being full-field, noncontact, highly sensitive, and robust. It offers a much higher measurement sensitivity compared with noncoherent measurement methods and is more robust and applicable to in-field tests.
