Abstract

Many multiaxial experimental setups rely on stereocorrelation (SC) techniques to resolve surface strains and deformations. Torsional loadings can affect the quality and accuracy of SC results due to changes in lighting conditions and the non-conservation of gray levels with the angle of twist. In this note, the gray level correction method implemented for 2D DIC cases is introduced in a 3D surface NURBS SC formalism and applied for torsional loadings. In particular, tension-torsion loading of AISI 1144 steel rods is used to demonstrate the approach. Different surface parameterizations, with and without gray level corrections, are tested in order to enhance the SC quality (defined via gray level residuals). It is found that both gray level corrections and relaxing the regularization of an overly constrained NURBS surface definition (6 vs. 36 knots), lower SC residuals.
