    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.15, No.3, pp. 91-102, 2010, DOI:10.3970/icces.2010.015.091

    Abstract In this study, Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) technique was used to measure the surface displacement and strain fields around cracks in concrete beams. ESPI has high accuracy and can determine full-field deformations of concrete. However, tiny rigid-body movements of beam specimens can spoil the ESPI measurement and cause virtual deformations and false strains. Based on the theory of geometrical optics, this paper proposes a method to eliminate the false strains caused by rigid-body motion. The correction procedure was validated experimentally. Furthermore, the crack evolution in a pre-notched beam is presented. The critical minimum crack More >
