Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of digital image technology, and more specifically, to a buckling recognition method based on digital image correlation. Background Technology
[0002] With rapid economic development, steel structures and steel-concrete composite structures are increasingly widely used in construction engineering, such as steel-concrete composite tubes and steel-plate concrete shear walls. Along with the use of high-strength steel, the problem of local buckling in steel plates has become increasingly prominent. In mechanical property tests of steel components, the initial local buckling cannot be directly observed with the naked eye due to the long development process of buckling deformation. Therefore, it is necessary to use measuring instruments and local buckling identification methods to determine it. These methods mainly include: judgment based on strain sensor-based local area strain measurement results, judgment based on macroscopic load-displacement measurement results, and judgment based on digital image correlation measurement results.
[0003] Local buckling is based on strain sensor measurements of strain in a local area, using strain abrupt changes as a criterion. However, its applicability is limited due to the randomness of the location of local buckling. Existing methods for judging local buckling based on macroscopic load-displacement measurements mainly fall into two categories: one is based on elastic theory analysis, using a "displacement / load-displacement" curve to determine the initial local buckling time, such as the Southwell method; the other is to find abrupt change points in the "load-displacement" curve by observation or derivative calculation, such as finding the first nonlinear point on the load-displacement curve, thereby determining the initial local buckling time. The first type of method generally relies on elastic theory or small deflection theory, but due to initial defects and inelastic buckling problems in actual experiments, its judgment results have certain errors, limiting its applicability.
[0004] In the second type of method, the method of finding the abrupt change point of the curve by observation is affected by human factors; the method of finding the abrupt change point of the curve by calculating the derivative of the macroscopic load-displacement curve is prone to difficulties in obtaining the abrupt change point or the abrupt change point is inaccurate due to the randomness of the initial defects, the occurrence of local buckling at multiple locations and the influence of the development of plastic deformation. Moreover, the location of the critical initial local buckling cannot be determined from the macroscopic curve alone.
[0005] Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a non-contact, full-field measurement method. It is easy to operate, has a wide measurement range, and requires minimal experimental conditions, and has been increasingly adopted in various disciplines such as civil engineering and aerospace. In mechanical property testing of steel components, DIC can be used to measure the full-field deformation data of the structure. Based on its ability to measure out-of-plane deformation data, it is divided into two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) DIC. 3D DIC can measure out-of-plane deformation data of the specimen, directly reflecting the occurrence of local buckling in the steel plate, but the cost of the equipment is high. 2D DIC can directly measure in-plane deformation data of the specimen, but for 3D deformation, it can only obtain 2D projected deformation data of the deformation area and cannot directly derive out-of-plane deformation data. However, the projected strain field of the component obtained by 2D DIC can still reflect the difference before and after local buckling. Compared with methods that determine the initial local buckling time based on macroscopic load-displacement curves, DIC can track the location, extent, and sequence of local buckling, offering significant advantages.
[0006] However, because the image data obtained by digital image correlation has two-dimensional or three-dimensional characteristics, it is more difficult to determine the initial local buckling point than through macroscopic load-displacement curves. In practice, although the strain field obtained by two-dimensional or three-dimensional digital image correlation can reflect the difference before and after local buckling, the strain field abrupt change in the plane (projected) strain map is not obvious because the development process of local buckling deformation is long, large, and generally irregular.
[0007] Therefore, current methods for determining the timing of initial local buckling using digital image correlation (DIR) rely on direct observation, which is highly subjective and forces analysts to focus on the later buckling stages where the local buckling range is larger. However, establishing a digital discrimination method and criteria for local buckling points in steel members based on the planar (projected) strain field obtained through DIR could significantly improve the accuracy of the discrimination results and enable rapid identification.
[0008] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0046] 1. Unlike methods that rely on observation or measurement of local areas to determine local buckling, the method for local buckling identification based on digital image correlation technology provided by this invention can obtain the full-field strain distribution map of the test specimen through digital image correlation technology, which is not affected by the randomness of local buckling location and has wider applicability.
[0047] 2.

[0048] 3. The method for local buckling recognition based on digital image correlation technology provided by the present invention can objectively calculate the time of local buckling in areas with obvious local buckling, and can also determine the time of local buckling by setting a calculation threshold in areas with slow local buckling development.
[0049] 4.

Moreover, the dimensionless method of the present invention can establish a local buckling identification standard by setting a unified dimensionless threshold, which is suitable for the situation of comparing local buckling between test specimens with different bearing capacities.

This represents the absolute value of the transverse strain gradient between longitudinally adjacent nodes; This represents the absolute value of the longitudinal strain gradient between laterally adjacent nodes; Represents the absolute value of the longitudinal strain gradient between adjacent nodes; i represents the transverse grid node code; j represents the longitudinal grid node code;
[0093] Specifically, by controlling the range of values for i and j, the speckle image can be divided into regions, and calculations can be performed on each region separately. Based on this, the time point at which the initial local buckling occurs in each region can be determined.

[0106] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to examples:
[0107] Example 1
[0108] This embodiment takes the static loading of a square-section hollow steel tube test specimen as an example. The square steel tube is a Q235B seamless steel tube, 900mm high, 300mm wide, and 6mm thick, with a width-to-thickness ratio of 50. A local buckling recognition method based on digital image correlation is used, which includes the following steps:
[0109] Step 1: Process the test surface of the test piece. Spray white paint on the test surface of the test piece and use a speckle tool to mark the test surface of the test piece. Adjust the camera parameters and light source so that the speckle image can clearly show the black spots on the test surface of the test piece. Prepare a calibration plate and take a speckle image with the calibration plate attached to the surface of the component to calculate the relationship between pixels and actual distance.
[0110] Step 2: Install the test specimen onto the testing instrument and load the specimen. Simultaneously, continuously acquire speckle images of the specimen surface using a camera. In the early stages, the image interval is controlled by the axial load increment, with the load interval being one-twentieth of the specimen's bearing capacity, which is 100kN in this test example. When the specimen approaches yield, switch to controlling the image interval by displacement increment, with a displacement interval of 0.2mm. After loading is completed, save the images from the camera and record the corresponding load.
[0111] Step 3: Using analysis software, the speckle images acquired by the measurement system are processed using digital image correlation technology. The grid is divided with a 10px grid width, and the full-field strain distribution map under different shooting sequences is calculated.
[0112] like Figures 4-5 As shown, Figure 4 In this embodiment, the local buckling recognition method based on digital image correlation yields the full-field strain distribution map corresponding to the speckle image captured before the buckling occurred. Figure 5 The digital image-related local buckling recognition method in this embodiment generates a full-field strain distribution map at the moment of buckling occurrence;
[0113] Step 4: Calculate the total gradient magnitude G of the strain field as described in this invention. Since the loading direction of the test specimen in this embodiment is longitudinal, the strain change of the test specimen is mainly longitudinal, and the longitudinal strain change of adjacent grid nodes in the lateral direction is small. Therefore, the calculation formula of the total gradient magnitude G of the strain field is simplified. After ignoring the lateral strain gradient and the longitudinal strain gradient of adjacent grid nodes in the lateral direction, the total gradient magnitude G of the strain field for each speckle image is calculated. The simplified calculation formula of G is as follows:
[0114]
[0115] Step 5: Based on the calculated absolute value G of the longitudinal strain field gradient in each speckle image, the test specimen load corresponding to each speckle image, and the theoretical bearing capacity of the test specimen, obtain the normalized gradient G in each speckle image according to the normalized gradient calculation formula of the total strain field gradient magnitude G. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0116]
[0117] Step 6: Using the order in which the speckle images were captured as the x-axis, normalize the gradient using the total gradient magnitude G of the strain field in each speckle image. Plot the vertical axis Bar chart;
[0118] like Figures 3-5 As shown, Figure 3 After the 23rd speckle image in the middle It changes from negative to positive and remains positive, while also combining... Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the strain field at the moment of buckling occurrence obtained by the method of the present invention in this embodiment does have a large abrupt change, which verifies the effectiveness of the digital image-related local buckling recognition method.
[0119] Step 7: Observe the strain distribution diagram of the entire field of the specimen at this moment, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, it can be determined that the specimen buckled locally at two locations: approximately 250 mm from the upper end plate and approximately 300 mm from the lower end plate.
[0120] Example 2
[0121] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, during the loading process of the test specimen, water is injected and pressurized onto the steel pipe test specimen to consider the effect of lateral compression on the steel pipe. In the test, the deformation of the steel pipe consists of local buckling and overall outward bulging deformation, resulting in less pronounced local buckling deformation than in Embodiment 1. When using the method of this invention to identify buckling in Embodiment 2, according to... The occurrence of local buckling is determined by the first value exceeding the threshold of 1.
[0122] like Figure 6As shown, after loading the test specimen and processing by the analysis software, the normalized gradient in this embodiment is obtained. Bar chart;
[0123] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the local buckling recognition method based on digital image correlation yields the full-field strain distribution map corresponding to the speckle image captured before the buckling occurred.
[0124] like Figure 8 As shown, the local buckling recognition method based on digital image correlation in this embodiment yields the full-field strain distribution map at the moment of buckling.
[0125] visible, Figure 6 After the 11th speckle image The value is greater than 1 for the first time, and at the same time combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 As can be seen, in this embodiment, the strain field at the moment of buckling occurs is found to have a large abrupt change by the local buckling identification method of this digital image correlation, which verifies the effectiveness of the local buckling identification method of this digital image correlation.
[0126] Observe the strain distribution diagram of the test piece at this moment as follows: Figure 8 As shown, it can be determined that the specimen experienced local buckling at a distance of approximately 300 mm from the upper end plate and 300 mm from the lower end plate.
[0127] In summary, by utilizing the above-mentioned technical solution of the present invention, unlike methods that determine local buckling based on observation or measurement of local areas, the method for local buckling identification based on digital image correlation technology provided by the present invention can obtain the full-field strain distribution map of the test specimen through digital image correlation technology, and is not affected by the randomness of local buckling location, thus having wider applicability.
[0128] Unlike methods that rely on macroscopic load-displacement measurement results to determine local buckling, the method for local buckling identification based on digital image correlation technology provided in this invention is not affected by the randomness of initial defects or the development of plastic deformation. It can determine the load that causes initial local buckling in the entire field or any defined area, track the location, extent, and sequence of local buckling, and has wider applicability.
[0129] The method for local buckling recognition based on digital image correlation technology provided by this invention can objectively calculate the time of local buckling in areas with obvious local buckling, and can also determine the time of local buckling by setting a calculation threshold in areas with slow local buckling development.
[0130] Unlike methods that rely on human observation to determine local buckling based on deformation results obtained from digital image correlation techniques, the method of this invention can quantitatively provide buckling point selection results, effectively reducing the uncertainty and lag of observation results caused by human factors. It is significantly superior to the direct observation method in terms of objectivity and accuracy.
[0131] When there are a large number of images, the method for local buckling identification based on digital image correlation technology provided by this invention can quickly identify the initial local buckling in different regions. Its applicability is also significantly better than the direct observation method. Furthermore, through calculation examples, it is shown that the buckling load obtained by the method of this invention is close to the buckling load obtained by theoretical analysis, with high accuracy, and can identify buckling abrupt changes that cannot be observed by the naked eye.
[0132] Unlike previous two-dimensional digital image correlation techniques, which were only used to measure in-plane deformation data, the method for local buckling identification based on digital image correlation techniques provided in this invention can perform calculations based on the measurement results of two-dimensional or three-dimensional digital image correlation techniques, thus expanding the applicable scenarios of two-dimensional digital image correlation techniques.
[0133] The normalized gradient calculation formula for the total gradient modulus G of the strain field provided by this invention incorporates the peak value G of all speckle images and the peak load or theoretical bearing capacity, making the calculated normalized gradient of the total gradient modulus G of the strain field dimensionless. When the test specimen is subjected to displacement loading, the dimensionless method of this invention can avoid the abnormality of the G gradient value caused by the large difference in the load increment corresponding to the speckle images taken at different loading stages. Furthermore, the dimensionless method of this invention can establish a local buckling identification standard by setting a unified dimensionless threshold, which is suitable for comparing local buckling between test specimens with different bearing capacities.
[0134] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
