An electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) system for measuring tensile properties under micro-tensile testing has been developed. The system consists of an optical system and an image processing system. In the optical system, optical components for measurement of in-plane deformation are arranged on the path of He-Ne laser. In the image processing system, the window-based program for acquiring speckle pattern interferometric image was developed and deformation in a small specimen is continuously evaluated during the test. Using this system, tensile strain of copper foil was measured during tensile testing. Tensile specimen had the thickness and width of 22 and 500 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, respectively. Tensile properties, including the elastic modulus, yielding strength and tensile strength, of the copper were evaluated and also plastic exponent and coefficient in the Ramberg-Osgood relationship were evaluated from the stress-strain curve.

본 연구에서는 철근의 인장시험에서 변형률에 대한 상세 측정을 위하여 이미지 프로세싱을 이용하고, 변형률 분포와 넥킹구간을 평가하였다. 이미지 프로세싱 방법으로는 기존의 회색조영상을 이용한 방법이 아닌 칼라영상의 색상정보를 분석하여, 원하는 타겟과 가장 일치하는 영역과 그 외의 영역으로 구분하여 이진영상으로 변환하는 방법을 사용하였다. 변환된 이진영상에서 개별 타겟들의 도심점을 산출한 후 각 도심점의 상대변위값을 변형률로 환산하였다. 인장실험은 ASTM A615 기준으로 제작된 grade 60 철근 중 D22와 D29에 대해서 시험을 수행하였다. 이미지 프로세싱을 이용하여 계측된 변형률 결과를 기존 변형률 게이지를 이용하여 계측한 결과와 비교하여, 본 연구에서 사용한 이미지 프로세싱 방법에 대해서 검증하였다. 이미지 프로세싱을 이용하여 초기 탄성구간의 변형률 뿐만 아니라 넥킹구간에서 발생한 0.5(50%) 이상의 변형률도 계측이 가능한 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과 이미지 프로세싱을 통하여 기존 변형률 게이지의 계측한계를 극복가능하고, 다양한 지점에서 자유롭게 계측할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a displacement measurement method based on deep learning using image data obtained from tensile tests of a material specimen. We focus on the fact that the sequential images during the tension are generated and the displacement of the specimen is represented in the image data. So, we designed sample generation model which makes sequential images of specimen. The behavior of generated images are similar to the real specimen images under tensile force. Using generated images, we trained and validated our model. In the deep neural network, sequential images are assigned to a multi-channel input to train the network. The multi-channel images are composed of sequential images obtained along the time domain. As a result, the neural network learns the temporal information as the images express the correlation with each other along the time domain. In order to verify the proposed method, we conducted experiments by comparing the deformation measuring performance of the neural network changing the displacement range of images.

In this study, we investigate the mechanical behavior of each skin layer, in terms of the nominal stress-strain curve by uniaxial tensile tests using specimens of porcine skin in two forms: dermis containing epidermis, and all three layers. All tests were performed under cyclic loading at the constant strain rate of 10^-3 s^-1 at ambient temperature. To measure the precise initial cross-sectional areas of each layer, the thickness of each skin layer was quantified by counting the number of pixels on the photo-image using image-processing software. In the tensile test, force-strain curves of the total skin and dermis with epidermis were obtained. Subsequently, a rule of mixtures was applied to determine the nonlinear mechanical properties of the hypodermis layer. In conclusion, we could define the uniaxial tensile behavior of the hypodermis, and additionally predict the weight effect of the dermis and hypodermis layers in the tensile test.

It is well known that during tensile testing, a part of the mechanical work done on the specimen is transformed into heat energy. However, the ultimate temperature rise and the rate of temperature rise is related to the nature of the material, conditions of the test and also to the deformation behaviour of the material during loading. The recent advances in infrared sensors and image/data processing techniques enable observation and quantitative analysis of the heat energy dissipated during such tensile tests. In this study, infrared imaging technique has been used to characterise the tensile deformation in AISI type 316 nuclear grade stainless steel. Apart from identifying the different stages during tensile deformation, the technique provided an accurate full-field temperature image by which the point and time of strain localization could be identified. The technique makes it possible to visualise the region of deformation and failure and also predict the exact region of fracture in advance. The effect of thermal gradients on plastic flow in the case of interrupted straining revealed that the interruption of strain and restraining at a lower strain rate not only delays the growth of the temperature gradient, but the temperature rise per unit strain decreases. The technique is a potential NDE tool that can be used for on-line detection of thermal gradients developed during extrusion and metal forming process which can be used for ensuring uniform distribution of plastic strain.

This study aims to characterize the multiple cracking behavior of HTPP-ECC (High tenacity polypropylene fiber reinforced engineered cementitious composites) by Digital Image Correlation (DIC) Method. Digital images have been captured from a dogbone shaped HTPP-ECC specimen exhibiting 3.1% tensile ductility under loading. Images analyzed by VIC-2D software and ${\varepsilon}_{xx}$ strain maps have been obtained. Crack widths were computed from the ${\varepsilon}_{xx}$ strain maps and crack width distributions were determined throughout the specimen. The strain values from real LVDTs were also compared with virtual LVDTs digitally attached on digital images. Results confirmed that it is possible to accurately monitor the initiation and propagation of any single crack or multiple cracks by DIC at the whole interval of testing. Although the analysis require some post-processing operations, DIC based crack analysis methodology can be used as a promising and versatile tool for quality control of HTPP-ECC and other strain hardening composites.

An experimental test is presented for photoelastic stress analysis around a crack tip in tensile loaded plate. The hybrid method coupling photoelastsic fringe inputs calculated by finite element method and complex variable formulations involving conformal mappings and analytical continuity is used to calculate full-field stress around the crack tip in uniaxially loaded, finite width tensile plate. In order to accurately compare calculated fringes with experimental ones, both actual and regenerated photoelastic fringe patterns are two times multiplied and sharpened by digital image processing. Regenerated fringes by hybrid method are quite comparable to actual fringes. The experimental results indicate that Mode I stress intensity factor analyzed by the hybrid method are accurate within three percent compared with ones obtained by empirical equation and finite element analysis.

In this study, the deformation of materials was measured using the video and tracking API of OpenCV. Circular markers attached to the material were selected the region of interests (ROIs). The position of the marker was measured from the area center of the circular marker. The position and displacement of the center point was measured along the image frames. For the verification, tensile tests were conducted. In the tensile test, four circular markers were attached along the longitudinal and transverse directions. The strain was calculated using the distance between markers both in the longitudinal and transverse direction. As a result, the stress-strain curve obtained using machine vision is compared to the stress-strain curve obtained from the DIC results. RMSE values of the strain from the machine vision and DIC were less than 0.005. In addition, as a measurement example, a bending angle and springback measurement according to bending deformation, and a moving position measurement of a punch, a blank holder, and a die by time change were performed. Using the proposed method, the deformation and displacement of the materials were measured precisely and easily.

Purpose: The finite element method (FEM) is advantageous because it can save time and cost by reducing the number of samples and experiments in the effort to identify design factors. In computational problem-solving it is necessary that the exact material properties are input for achieving a reliable analysis. However, in the case of fiber boards, it is difficult to measure their cross-directional material properties because of their small thickness. In previous research studies, the Poisson's ratio was measured by analyzing ultrasonic wave velocities. Recently, the Poisson's ratio was measured using a high-speed digital camera. In this study, we measured the transverse strain of a fiber board and calculated its Poisson's ratio using a high-speed digital camera in order to apply these estimates to a FEM analysis of a fiber board, a corrugated board, and a corrugated box. Methods: Three different fiber board samples were used in a uniaxial tensile test. The longitudinal strain was measured using the Universal Testing Machine. The transverse strain was measured using an image processing method. To calculate the transverse strain, we acquired images of the fiber board before the test onset and before the fracture occurred. Acquired images were processed using the image processing program MATLAB. After the images were converted from color to binary, we calculated the width of the fiber board. Results: The calculated Poisson's ratio ranged between 0.2968-0.4425 (Machine direction, MD) and 0.1619-0.1751 (Cross machine direction, CD). Conclusions: This study demonstrates that measurement of the transverse properties of a fiber board is possible using image processing methods. Correspondingly, these processing methods could be used to measure material properties that are difficult to measure using conventional measuring methodologies that employ strain gauge extensometers.

최근 철근 콘크리트 구조물에 다양한 철근 이음이 사용되고 있다. 이에 따라 커플러 이음 철근의 인장 특성에 대한 파악이 중요해졌다. 본 연구에서는 커플러 이음 철근의 연성도에 대한 평가를 위하여 ASTM A615 기준에 따라 생산된 Grade 60 D22(#7), D29(#9), 그리고 두 종류의 커플러를 상대로 1축 인장시험을 수행하였다. 보다 정확하고 다양한 지점에서 자유로운 계측이 가능한 이미지 프로세싱 방법을 사용하여 변형률을 계측하였다. 1축 인장시험 결과, 응력-변형률 관계와 응력 단계별 종방향 변형률 분포를 산출할 수 있었고, 이를 통하여 동일한 표점거리 내에서 커플러 이음 부분이 많이 차지할수록 평균변형률이 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 커플러 이음철근의 극한거동 및 파단 시변형률에 대한 평가를 통해 커플러의 길이에 대한 한계상태변형률과 파단변형률과의 상관관계를 정식화하였다.
