The goals are to 1. understand full field thermal expansion of system parts by using strain gauges, DIC, and possibly ESPI. This is ultimately used to update a Finite Element Model relating to stockpile stewardship. 2. To verify the resolution of digital image correlation methods for thermal expansion measurements (CTE). A few conclusions: To this point, the DIC data shows more noise (less resolution) than we would like and Strain Gauge data is sound but it is more localized than full field.
