Integrating Experimentation, Modeling, and Visualization Through Full-Field Methods (Preprint)
Abstract
Recent research in which full-field techniques are used is presented. This work includes the study of deformation through modeling and experimentation both in the vicinity of material defects and in areas without defects. For the latter, nonlinear, full-field strain resulting from the heterogeneity of the material's microstructure can be studied, enabling the evaluation and calibration of advanced microstructural-deformation models to much greater extent than previously possible. Through the study of microstructural deformation near defects, the effect of microstructural variability on damage evolution can be better understood, leading to better understanding of the underlying physics of variability in damage evolution.
