Title: System and method for testing true stress and true strain

Abstract

A true stress testing system broadly comprising a force input machine, an imaging system, and a computer. The imaging system includes a light source for projecting a light beam at the specimen in a first direction and a camera positioned on an opposite side of the specimen for receiving portions of the light beam not blocked by the specimen such that a shadow image of the specimen is created via the camera. The computer may determine a minimum dimension of the specimen perpendicular to the first direction at a point in time over a plurality of points along the force axis via the shadow image of the specimen such that the processor accounts for changes in position of the minimum dimension along the specimen. A true stress of the specimen may then be determined according to the minimum dimension of the specimen perpendicular to the first direction at the point in time.
