Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to digital image correlation methods and specimens. [Background technology]

[0002] When conducting a strength test on a material (test specimen), such as a static test or a dynamic test, a digital image correlation (DIC) method is known that analyzes the displacement behavior of the test specimen based on digital images before and after deformation (e.g., Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0003] In the digital image correlation method, a random pattern is first formed on the surface of a test piece. Then, before the test piece is deformed, a digital image of the random pattern is captured on the test piece. After that, the test piece is deformed, and a digital image of the random pattern is captured again. Then, a subset is set in the digital image before deformation. Note that the subset is an area of ​​a predetermined size set on the digital image, and is used to analyze the amount of displacement at each position on the test piece. Next, a subset corresponding to the subset set in the digital image before deformation is identified in the digital image after deformation. Then, the displacement behavior of the test piece is analyzed by calculating the amount of displacement of the center point (representative point) of the subset before and after deformation.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-3234 [Patent Document 2] International Publication No. 2007 / 072905 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] As described above, the digital image correlation method calculates the displacement of the center point of the subset. Therefore, if a subset is set so that its center point is located at the edge of the test piece, part of the subset will not fit inside the test piece. In this case, the area of ​​the subset that extends beyond the test piece will not contain a random pattern (it will be blank).

[0006] In this case, it becomes difficult to identify a subset in the deformed digital image that corresponds to a subset before deformation, and the amount of displacement cannot be calculated for that subset, which leads to the problem that the amount of displacement of the end of the test specimen cannot be calculated.

[0007] In view of the above, the present disclosure aims to provide a digital image correlation method and a specimen capable of calculating the amount of displacement at the end of the specimen. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, a digital image correlation method according to one aspect of the present disclosure is a digital image correlation method for measuring the displacement of a deforming test object, the method including: adding an extension body made of a ductile material to an end of the test object in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis direction of a camera; a random pattern forming step of forming a random pattern on the surface of the test body to which the extension body has been added and on the surface of the extension body after the addition step is performed; The method includes a first imaging step of imaging a test body to which an extension body is attached using a camera, a deformation step of deforming the test body to which an extension body is attached, a second imaging step of imaging the test body deformed in the deformation step using a camera, a subset setting step of setting a first subset in the first image obtained in the first imaging step so that it spans both the surface of the test body and the surface of the extension body, a subset identification step of identifying a second subset corresponding to the first subset in the second image obtained in the second imaging step, and a calculation step of calculating the amount of displacement between the representative points of the first subset and the representative points of the second subset that correspond to each other.

[0009] In the first and second imaging steps, the camera may be focused on the boundary between the test body and the expansion body.

[0011] Furthermore, the extension body added to the end of the test piece in the adding step may be freestanding in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the camera. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to calculate the amount of displacement at the end of the test specimen. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Dimensions, materials, specific numerical values, etc. shown in the embodiments are merely examples for ease of understanding and do not limit the present disclosure unless otherwise specified. In this specification and drawings, elements having substantially the same functions and configurations are designated by the same reference numerals to avoid redundant explanation. Elements not directly related to the present disclosure are not shown.

[0016] [Digital Image Correlation Method] FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a digital image correlation method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The digital image correlation method according to this embodiment can be applied, for example, to measuring the strength of a test piece (strength test). As shown in FIG. 1, the digital image correlation method according to this embodiment includes a test piece manufacturing step S110, a first imaging step S120, a deformation step S130, a second imaging step S140, a subset setting step S150, a subset identification step S160, and a calculation step S170. Each step will be described below. Here, we will take as an example a case where the digital image correlation method is applied to a tensile test as a strength test.

[0017] [Specimen manufacturing process S110] The specimen manufacturing process S110 is a process for manufacturing a specimen to be used in a strength test, and includes an adding process S112 and a random pattern forming process S114.

[0018] [Additional step S112] The adding step S112 is a step of adding an extension body to the end of the test body. Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating the test body 10. In Fig. 2 and other figures of this embodiment, the perpendicularly intersecting X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are defined as shown.

[0019] The specimen 10 is made of, for example, a composite material such as fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), metal, etc. As shown in Fig. 2, the specimen 10 according to this embodiment has a flat plate shape.

[0020] The test specimen 10 includes a parallel portion 12 and grip portions 14a and 14b. In FIG. 2, the parallel portion 12 has a constant length in the X-axis direction, a constant length in the Y-axis direction, and a constant length in the Z-axis direction. Hereinafter, the length of the test specimen 10 in the X-axis direction may be referred to as the "width." The length of the test specimen 10 in the Y-axis direction may be referred to as the "thickness." The length of the test specimen 10 in the Z-axis direction may be simply referred to as the "length."

[0021] Grip portions 14a, 14b are provided continuously at both longitudinal ends of parallel portion 12. Grip portions 14a, 14b have, for example, a width greater than that of parallel portion 12. Grip portions 14a, 14b also have, for example, a thickness substantially equal to that of parallel portion 12. Grip portions 14a, 14b are held by a strength tester in a deformation step S130, which will be described later.

[0022] Furthermore, in a first imaging step S120 and a second imaging step S140, which will be described later, the specimen 10 is placed in front of the camera so that the optical axis direction of the camera is the Y-axis direction. That is, in the first imaging step S120 and the second imaging step S140, the surface 10a of the specimen 10 is imaged. That is, the surface 10a of the specimen 10 is the surface of the specimen 10 that faces the camera, i.e., the surface on the camera side.

[0023] In the adding step S112, an extension body is added to the test piece 10. FIG. 3 is a process diagram illustrating the adding step S112. As shown in FIG. 3, in the adding step S112, an extension body 20 is added to an end of the test piece 10 (i.e., the edge of the test piece 10 in the image captured by the camera) within a plane 10a (XZ plane in FIG. 3) perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the camera (Y axis direction in FIG. 3). In this embodiment, the extension body 20 is added to the end 12a on both sides of the left-right direction (X direction in FIG. 3) of the parallel portion 12 of the test piece 10. Note that the end 12a of the parallel portion 12 is an end that is not gripped by the strength testing machine. Furthermore, the end 12a of the parallel portion 12 is an end that is perpendicular to the load direction in the strength test (tensile test).

[0024] In the attachment step S112, the extension body 20 is attached to the end 12a of the parallel portion 12 so that the parallel portion 12 and the extension body 20 are flush or nearly flush with each other on the surface 10a. In other words, the extension body 20 is attached to the end 12a of the parallel portion 12 so that the surface 10a of the test body 10 and the surface 20a of the extension body are flush or nearly flush with each other. Therefore, the surface 20a of the extension body 20, like the surface 10a of the test body 10, is the surface of the extension body 20 that faces the camera, i.e., the surface on the camera side. Here, the extension body 20 is bonded to the test body 10 by its surface. Therefore, the extension body 20 follows the test body 10 as the test body 10 deforms without separating. Note that the term "bonded" does not necessarily mean that an intervening material such as an adhesive is sandwiched between the extension body 20 and the parallel portion 12, but also includes cases where the extension body 20 is bonded in direct contact with the test body 10.

[0025] The width of the expansion body 20 in the X-axis direction in FIG. 3 is, for example, several times larger than that of the first subset 220 described later.

[0026] The expandable body 20 is formed of a ductile material. That is, the expandable body 20 is formed of a ductile material such as resin, rubber, elastomer, or metal, and can be formed of, for example, silicone resin (silicone sealant). Furthermore, the expandable body 20 made of a ductile material in this embodiment has isotropy, meaning it stretches evenly in any direction, and is easily stretched regardless of a specific direction. Therefore, the expandable body 20 can naturally stretch in any direction in response to deformation of the test specimen 10 in any direction during a strength test. However, even if the expandable body 20 has some anisotropy, it can be applied to tests similar to this embodiment as long as the displacement amount described below can be calculated.

[0027] The rigidity of the expandable body 20 in this embodiment is lower than the rigidity of the test specimen 10. The rigidity of the expandable body 20 is, for example, 1% or less of the rigidity of the test specimen 10. As a result, the rigidity of the expandable body 20 is sufficiently smaller than the rigidity of the test specimen 10, so that the test specimen 10, which deforms during a strength test, is less affected by the rigidity of the expandable body 20, and this effect can be kept within the error range of the strength test. Therefore, the strength of the test specimen 10 measured in a strength test is not affected by the strength of the expandable body 20, making it possible to accurately measure the strength of the test specimen 10.

[0028] Furthermore, the extension body 20 attached to the end 12a of the test specimen 10 is free-standing within a plane 20a perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the camera. Therefore, the plane 20a of the extension body 20 extends toward the end 12a almost perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the camera. The shape and thickness of the extension body 20, as well as the ductile material forming the extension body 20, are appropriately adjusted so that the extension body 20 can be free-standing within the plane 20a.

[0029] [Random pattern formation step S114] The random pattern forming step S114 is a step of forming a random pattern on the surface 10a (front surface) of the test piece 10 to which the extension body 20 is attached, and on the surface 20a (front surface) of the extension body 20. FIG. 4 is a process diagram illustrating the random pattern forming step S114. As shown in FIG. 4, in the random pattern forming step S114, a random pattern 30 is formed on the surfaces 10a, 20a of the test piece 10 to which the extension body 20 is attached. The random pattern 30 is a random design.

[0030] As described above, in this embodiment, the extension body 20 is added to the end 12a of the parallel portion 12 so that the parallel portion 12 and the extension body 20 are flush or nearly flush with each other on the surfaces 10a, 20a. Therefore, the random pattern 30 is formed evenly from the parallel portion 12 to the extension body 20.

[0031] In the random pattern forming step S114, the random pattern 30 may be formed on the surfaces 10a and 20a by spray coating. Alternatively, in the random pattern forming step S114, the random pattern 30 may be formed on the surfaces 10a and 20a by attaching a screen tone on which the random pattern 30 is printed.

[0032] In this way, by performing the addition process S112 and the random pattern formation process S114, a specimen 100 is manufactured, which comprises a test piece 10, an extension body 20 made of a ductile material added to the end 12a of the test piece 10 within a plane 10a perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the camera that images the test piece 10 using the digital image correlation method, and a random pattern 30 formed on the surface 10a of the test piece 10 and the surface 20a of the extension body 20.

[0033] [First imaging step S120] The first imaging step S120 is a step of capturing an image of the specimen 100 using a camera. FIG. 5 is a process diagram illustrating the first imaging step S120 and the second imaging step S140. As shown in FIG. 5, in the first imaging step S120 and the second imaging step S140 described later, the specimen 100 is placed in front of the camera 50 so that the direction of the optical axis 52 of the camera 50 (the Y-axis direction in FIG. 5) is perpendicular to the surfaces 10a, 20a of the specimen 100 on which the random pattern 30 is formed. At this time, the camera 50 is focused on the surface 10a of the specimen 100.

[0034] Then, the camera 50 captures an image of the specimen 100 (random pattern 30).

[0035] [Deformation process S130] The deformation step S130 is a step of deforming the specimen 100. In the deformation step S130 of this embodiment, a tensile test is performed by a strength tester. For example, the grip portions 14a and 14b of the specimen 100 are held by the strength tester. Then, the strength tester pulls the grip portions 14a and 14b in a direction separating them from each other.

[0036] [Second imaging step S140] The second imaging step S140 is a step of using the camera 50 to capture an image of the test piece 10 (specimen 100) that has been deformed in the deformation step S130.

[0037] [Subset setting process S150] The subset setting step S150 is a step of setting a first subset in the first image obtained in the first imaging step S120.

[0038] Fig. 6 is a process diagram illustrating the subset setting step S150. For ease of understanding, the first subset 220 is shown relatively large in Fig. 6. The random pattern 30 is also shown cross-hatched in Fig. 6.

[0039] 6, in the subset setting step S150, first, a first subset 220 is set in the first image 210 (digital image) acquired in the first imaging step S120. The first subset 220 is an area of ​​a predetermined size set on the first image 210. The first subset 220 is, for example, a square area of ​​21 pixels by 21 pixels.

[0040] The first subset 220 is set so that the random pattern 30 is included throughout the entire first subset 220. Furthermore, a plurality of first subsets 220 are set in the first image 210. The plurality of first subsets 220 may be set so that they do not overlap with each other, or may be set so that they partially overlap with each other. The plurality of first subsets 220 are set so that, for example, the entire region of the first image 210 that corresponds to the parallel portion 12 is covered.

[0041] [Subset Identification Step S160] The subset identification step S160 is a step of identifying a second subset corresponding to the first subset 220 in the second image obtained in the second imaging step S140. Figure 7 is a process diagram illustrating the subset identification step S160. Note that in Figure 7, the second subset 230 is shown relatively large for ease of understanding. Also, in Figure 7, the random pattern 30 is shown cross-hatched.

[0042] 7, in the subset identification step S160, a second subset 230 is identified in the second image 212 (digital image) acquired in the second imaging step S140, which has the highest correlation with the random pattern 30 (design) of the first subset 220 set on the first image 210. Since various existing techniques can be applied to identify the second subset 230 corresponding to the first subset 220, detailed explanations will be omitted here.

[0043] [Calculation step S170] The calculation step S170 is a step of calculating the amount of displacement between a corresponding representative point P of the first subset 220 and a corresponding representative point P of the second subset 230. The representative point P of the first subset 220 is, for example, the center point (center of gravity) of the first subset 220. Similarly, the representative point P of the second subset 230 is, for example, the center point (center of gravity) of the second subset 230.

[0044] Then, the displacement behavior of the entire test body 10 is analyzed based on the amount of displacement between the representative point P of each of the multiple first subsets 220 and the representative point P of each of the multiple second subsets 230 corresponding to each of the multiple first subsets 220.

[0045] [Setting of the first subset 220 in the specimen of the comparative example] 8 is a diagram illustrating a first image 250 acquired by imaging the specimen of the comparative example. The specimen of the comparative example does not include the expansion body 20. In other words, the specimen of the comparative example is composed of only the test piece 10.

[0046] As described above, the first subset 220 is set so that the random pattern 30 is included throughout the entire area of ​​the first subset 220. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 8 , when attempting to set the first subset 220 in the first image 250 acquired by imaging the specimen (test piece 10) of the comparative example, the first subset 220 cannot be set at a location where the representative point P is located at the end 12a of the parallel portion 12.

[0047] Specifically, if the first subset 220 is set at a location where the representative point P is located at the end 12a of the parallel portion 12, a portion of the first subset 220 will not fit within the test piece 10. In this case, the area of ​​the first subset 220 that extends beyond the test piece 10 will not have the random pattern 30. Hereinafter, the area of ​​the first subset 220 that does not have the random pattern 30 may be referred to as a "blank."

[0048] Therefore, if the first subset 220 is set at a location where the representative point P is located at the end 12a of the parallel portion 12 and at a location where the representative point P is located within a distance L from the end 12a of the parallel portion 12, a blank will be included in the first subset 220. Note that the distance L is half the length of the width of the first subset 220 when the representative point P is the center point.

[0049] If there is a blank in the first subset 220, it will be impossible to identify the second subset 230 with which a correlation can be obtained in the second image acquired in the second imaging step S140.

[0050] Therefore, in the specimen of the comparative example (only specimen 10), the displacement amount at end 12a of parallel portion 12 and within the range of distance L from end 12a of parallel portion 12 could not be calculated.

[0051] 9 is a diagram illustrating a first image 210 acquired by capturing an image of the specimen 100 according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the specimen 100 according to this embodiment has an extension body 20 at an end 12a of the specimen 10 and extending from the end 12a.

[0052] Therefore, when the first subset 220 is set at a location where the representative point P is located at the end 12a of the parallel portion 12 and at a location where the representative point P is located within a distance L from the end 12a of the parallel portion 12, the first subset 220 is set in the first image 210 so as to span both the surface 10a of the test body 10 and the surface 20a of the extension body 20.

[0053] As described above, in the specimen 100 according to this embodiment, the random pattern 30 is formed on both the surface 10a of the specimen 10 and the surface 20a of the expansion body 20. Therefore, even if the first subset 220 is set at a location where the representative point P is located at the end 12a of the parallel portion 12 and at a location where the representative point P is located within the distance L from the end 12a of the parallel portion 12, it is possible to avoid a situation where a blank is included in the first subset 220. In other words, it is possible to fill the first subset 220 with the random pattern 30 formed on the surface 10a of the specimen 10 and the random pattern 30 formed on the surface 20a of the expansion body 20.

[0054] Therefore, when the specimen 100 according to this embodiment is used, the second subset 230 that has a high correlation can be easily identified in the second image 212 acquired in the second imaging step S140.

[0055] Therefore, in the specimen 100 according to this embodiment, it is possible to calculate the displacement of the end 12a of the parallel portion 12 and within the range of the distance L from the end 12a of the parallel portion 12.

[0056] As described above, the digital image correlation method according to this embodiment uses the specimen 100 including the specimen 10, the extension body 20, and the random pattern 30. This makes it possible for the digital image correlation method according to this embodiment to calculate the amount of displacement of the end 12 a of the specimen 10.

[0057] Furthermore, as described above, the expandable body 20 is made of a ductile material. As a result, the expandable body 20 follows the deformation of the surface (face 10a) of the test body 10 and deforms to the same extent as the deformation of the test body 10. Therefore, the deformation behavior of the random pattern 30 formed on the surface (face 10a) of the test body 10 and the random pattern 30 formed on the surface (face 20a) of the expandable body 20 is substantially the same. This makes it possible to obtain a high correlation between the first subset 220 of the first image 210 and the second subset 230 of the second image 212.

[0058] As described above, the random pattern forming step S114 is performed after the adding step S112. This allows the random pattern 30 to be formed continuously on the surface 10a of the test body 10 and the surface 20a of the extension body 20.

[0059] As described above, the extension body 20 is configured to be self-supporting within the plane 20a perpendicular to the direction of the optical axis 52 of the camera 50. This allows the camera 50 to capture an image of the random pattern 30 formed on the plane 20a of the extension body 20 with high accuracy.

[0060] Although the embodiments have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can conceive of various modifications or alterations within the scope of the claims, and it is understood that these also naturally fall within the technical scope of the present disclosure.

[0061] For example, in the above-described embodiment, a tensile test is used as an example of a strength test. However, the strength test may be any test that deforms the test specimen 10. For example, a static test such as a compression test or a bending test, or a dynamic test such as a fatigue test, may be suitably applied as the strength test. Furthermore, a shear test or a torsion test may also be applied as the strength test. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to strength tests, and various methods for measuring the displacement of a deforming test specimen may also be applied.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the specimen 10 has a flat plate shape. However, the shape of the specimen 10 is not limited.

[0063] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a test body 300 according to a modified example. As shown in FIG. 10, the test body 300 has, for example, a cylindrical shape. Even in this case, the extension body 20 is attached to the end 300a (edge) of the test body 300 in a plane (XZ plane in FIG. 10) perpendicular to the optical axis direction (Y-axis direction in FIG. 10) of the camera 50. Note that in the modified example, the camera 50 is focused on the boundary 24 between the test body 300 and the extension body 20 in the first imaging step S120 and the second imaging step S140. This allows the displacement amount of the end 300a of the test body 300 to be calculated with high accuracy.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the case where the expansion body 20 is attached to the entire end 12a of the parallel portion 12 is exemplified. However, the expansion body 20 may be attached to only a portion of the end 12a of the parallel portion 12. The expansion body 20 may be attached to all of the ends provided around the entire circumference of the test body 10, or may be attached to only a portion of the end of the test body 10.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the expansion body 20 is added so that the surface 10a of the test body 10 and the surface 20a of the expansion body 20 are flush or nearly flush with each other. However, the surface 20a of the expansion body 20 may be offset from the surface 10a of the test body 10 within a range that allows the displacement of the test body 10 to be calculated.

[0066] Furthermore, the thickness of the expandable body 20 may be less than the thickness of the test body 10, or may be greater than or equal to the thickness of the test body 10. In any case, the expandable body 20 only needs to have a thickness that allows it to stand on its own.

[0067] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the random pattern 30 is formed after the expansion body 20 is added to the test body 10. However, it is also possible to form the random pattern 30 on the test body 10, form the random pattern 30 on the expansion body 20, and then add the expansion body 20 to the test body 10. In other words, the expansion body 20 on which the random pattern 30 is formed may be added to the test body 10 on which the random pattern 30 is formed.

[0068] In the above embodiment, the first subset 220 and the second subset 230 are square regions. However, the shapes of the first subset 220 and the second subset 230 are not limited as long as they are regions consisting of a plurality of pixels and are smaller than the first image 210 and the second image 212. The first subset 220 and the second subset 230 may be rectangular, polygonal, such as triangular, pentagonal, or hexagonal, or may be circular, for example.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the case where the subset setting step S150 is executed after the second imaging step S140 has been exemplified. However, there is no limitation on the timing at which the subset setting step S150 is executed, as long as it is executed after the first imaging step S120.

[0070] Furthermore, the deformation step S130 and the second imaging step S140 may be repeated multiple times.

[0071] Furthermore, in the subset setting step S150 of the above embodiment, an example was given in which the first subset 220 was set by capturing an image of the test specimen 10 in its initial state (the test specimen 10 that has not been deformed) as the first image 210. However, if the deformation step S130 and the second imaging step S140 are performed multiple times, the first subset 220 may be set by capturing an image captured before the execution of one deformation step S130 as the first image, and the second subset 230 may be specified by capturing an image captured after the execution of that one deformation step S130 as the second image. In other words, the first image may be acquired by capturing an image of the deformed test specimen 10.

[0072] Furthermore, when the test piece 10 is continuously deformed, an image acquired at time t1 may be the first image, and an image acquired at time t2 after time t1 may be the second image.
