Strain and distortion monitoring during arc welding by 3D digital image correlation
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, USA
A novel three-dimensional (3D) digital image correlation (DIC) approach using a stereovision system was developed to measure the evolution of strain and distortion near the fusion zone during the gas tungsten arc welding process. Unlike the previously reported two-dimensional (2D) DIC approach using a single camera, the 3D DIC method was immune to the out-of-plane displacement and was capable of measuring 3D deformation. Both 2D and 3D DIC approaches in welding applications were based on the utilisation of the novel high-temperature speckle and the pulsed laser illumination plus bandpass filters. However, the speckle pattern was partially specular reflective causing issues in subset matching in the 3D approach. In conclusion, a new algorithm and experimental procedure was incorporated to solve this problem.
