3D X-ray Microtomography Volume Correlation to Study Fatigue Crack Growth
Abstract
Global digital volume correlation is used to analyze a series of computed tomography images of a nodular graphite cast iron specimen subjected in situ to a fatigue test. From the obtained displacement field, a specific procedure is implemented to extract stress intensity factors all along the crack front. The proposed methodology allows one to measure key parameters in fatigue crack propagation directly from 3D images.
