Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a novel technique for full 3D strain and deformation measurements. The technique imports volume images of the component in reference and deformed states and is able to calculate the full 3D displacement and strain map. DVC is a powerful non-intrusive technique for the identification of sub-surface material deformation and is capable of identifying defects, discontinuities or other material characteristics.
In order for Digital Volume Correlation to be successful the volume images must contain a random pattern. That random pattern is seen as changes in local contrast. In the case of X-ray CT scans the pattern will be produced by changes in material density such as air voids in concrete, or particles of different material type within the main body matrix, such as Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) tin particles distributed in an aluminium powder. The volume image is subdivided into interrogation volumes within which robust and highly accurate algorithms calculate the displacement of the pattern, which represent the material shift. Digital Volume Correlation is capable of yielding over one million displacement vectors per volume image pair. |
