A critical overview of past research on the interaction integral (I-integral) method is
presented. The I-integral is the two-state mutual energy release rate decided by a …

Image Correlation for Shape, Motion and Deformation Measurements provides a
comprehensive overview of data extraction through image analysis. Readers will find and in …

Optical full-field measurement methods such as Digital Image Correlation (DIC) are
increasingly used in the field of experimental mechanics, but they still suffer from a lack of …

Digital image correlation is an appealing technique for studying crack propagation in brittle
materials such as ceramics. A case study is discussed where the crack geometry, and the …

This paper presents a combined experimental‐numerical technique for the calculation of the
J‐integral as an area integral in cracked specimens. The proposed technique is based on …

Digital image correlation is a measurement technique that allows one to retrieve
displacement fields' separating'two digital images of the same sample at different stages of …

Notched semi-circular bend (NSCB) specimen has been successfully used in fracture tests
of brittle materials. As a suggested method for measuring the dynamic fracture toughness of …

Full-field strain measurements are applied in studies of textile deformability during
composite processing:(1) in testing of shear and tensile deformations of textiles (picture …

The methodology of eXtended finite element method is applied to the measurement of
displacements through digital image correlation. An algorithm, initially based on a finite …

It is proposed to use digital image correlation (DIC) to identify parameters governing crack
propagation of commercially pure titanium. To achieve this goal, crack tip location, stress …
