Background

Despite the large variety of materials used to repair congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), none has proven ideal due to complications and risk of recurrence. Understanding the mechanical behavior of the diaphragm’s central tendon is essential for developing biomimetic prostheses.

Objective

This study aims to characterize the hyperelastic behavior of the porcine diaphragmatic tendon under biaxial loading conditions.

Methods

Biaxial hyperelastic response of the porcine diaphragmatic central tendon was characterized using bulge inflation tests combined with full-field stereo digital image correlation (3D-DIC). Principal stretches were extracted from the reconstructed three-dimensional geometry using a spherical-cap approximation, with corrections for clamping-induced pre-deformation. Several incompressible isotropic hyperelastic models (Neo-Hookean, Mooney–Rivlin, Yeoh and Fung) were first evaluated as phenomenological baselines. To account for the anisotropic mechanical signature of the tendon, a transversely isotropic hyperelastic formulation of the Humphrey-Yin type was implemented. This model represents an effective anisotropic response associated with the lamellar and collagen-rich structure of the tissue through its thickness, while assuming isotropy within the membrane plane.

Results

The diaphragm tissue exhibited an exponential mechanical response. Neo-Hookean and Mooney-Rivlin models failed to capture the observed behavior, while the Yeoh model slightly overestimated nonlinearity. The Fung model provided the closest fit to the nonlinear pressure–stretch response, yet failed to reproduce the directional differences observed between meridional and circumferential stretches. The Humphrey-Yin model provided a markedly improved description of the experimental data over the full inflation range. Parameter identification revealed that the transversely isotropic contribution dominated the strain-energy response, highlighting the limitations of isotropic constitutive laws for modeling diaphragmatic tendon mechanics, even under macroscopically axisymmetric inflation. Despite specimen-to-specimen variability, no significant differences were observed between left and right diaphragm samples.

Conclusion

Overall, this work demonstrates that effective anisotropic hyperelastic formulations are required to describe the biaxial mechanical behavior of the diaphragmatic central tendon under inflation loading. The proposed experimental–numerical framework provides a robust basis for biomechanical modeling and constitutes a first step toward the development of biomimetic prosthetic materials for diaphragmatic repair.

背景:尽管用于修复先天性膈疝(CDH)的材料种类繁多,但由于并发症和复发风险,没有一种材料被证明是理想的。了解膈肌中央肌腱的力学行为对于开发仿生假体至关重要。目的研究猪膈肌腱在双轴载荷条件下的超弹性行为。方法采用膨化试验结合三维立体数字图像相关技术(3D-DIC)对猪膈中央肌腱的双轴超弹性响应进行表征。使用球帽近似从重建的三维几何中提取主拉伸,并对夹持引起的预变形进行修正。几个不可压缩的各向同性超弹性模型(Neo-Hookean, Mooney-Rivlin, Yeoh和Fung)首先被评估为现象学基线。为了考虑肌腱的各向异性力学特征,采用了一个横向各向同性的汉弗莱-尹型超弹性公式。该模型在膜平面内假设各向同性的同时,通过其厚度表示与组织的板层和胶原蛋白丰富结构相关的有效各向异性响应。结果横膈膜组织表现出指数力学响应。Neo-Hookean和Mooney-Rivlin模型未能捕捉到观察到的行为,而Yeoh模型略微高估了非线性。Fung模型提供了最接近非线性压力-拉伸响应的拟合,但未能重现在子午和周向拉伸之间观察到的方向差异。汉弗莱-尹模型对整个膨胀范围内的实验数据提供了显著改进的描述。参数识别表明,横向各向同性贡献主导了应变-能量响应,突出了各向同性本构律在模拟横膈肌腱力学时的局限性,即使在宏观轴对称膨胀下也是如此。尽管标本间存在差异,但在左右隔膜样本之间没有观察到显著差异。总的来说,这项工作表明,需要有效的各向异性超弹性公式来描述膨胀载荷下膈中央肌腱的双轴力学行为。所提出的实验-数值框架为生物力学建模提供了坚实的基础,并构成了开发用于膈肌修复的仿生假体材料的第一步。

Background

Determining accurate constitutive laws from experimental data remains a key challenge in mechanics, particularly when the material behavior is nonlinear and the dataset is limited or noisy. Traditional approaches rely on identifying parameters of preselected material models, which separates the model selection and the calibration tasks leading to a potentially long and tedious trial-and-error procedure.

Objective

This work aims to assess the performance of EUCLID (Efficient Unsupervised Constitutive Law Identification and Discovery), a recently proposed framework for automated discovery of constitutive laws, when applied to experimental data.

Methods

Mechanical tests are conducted on natural rubber specimens of varying geometrical complexity. Both global (force–elongation) and local (full-field displacement) data are collected. Constitutive laws are obtained via two routes: (i) conventional parameter identification in a priori selected models, and (ii) EUCLID, which integrates model selection and parameter identification in a unified model discovery pipeline.

Results

The two approaches are compared in terms of predictive accuracy, generalization to unseen geometries, and robustness to experimental noise. The coverage of the material state space achieved by each dataset is quantified, and the relative performance of different datasets and models is analyzed.

Conclusions

EUCLID enables automated and data-driven discovery of constitutive laws, offering improved flexibility compared to conventional identification methods, and showing strong potential for reliable material modeling based on experimental data.

从实验数据中确定准确的本构定律仍然是力学中的一个关键挑战,特别是当材料行为是非线性的,数据集有限或有噪声时。传统的方法依赖于识别预选材料模型的参数,这将模型选择和校准任务分开,导致潜在的漫长而繁琐的试错过程。本工作旨在评估EUCLID(高效无监督本构律识别和发现)在应用于实验数据时的性能,EUCLID是最近提出的用于自动发现本构律的框架。方法对不同几何复杂度的天然橡胶试样进行力学试验。收集了全局(力延伸)和局部(全场位移)数据。通过两种途径获得本构律:(i)在先验选择的模型中进行常规参数识别;(ii) EUCLID,将模型选择和参数识别集成到统一的模型发现管道中。结果两种方法在预测精度、对未知几何图形的泛化和对实验噪声的鲁棒性方面进行了比较。量化了各数据集实现的物质状态空间覆盖范围,分析了不同数据集和模型的相对性能。结论seuclid能够实现本构规律的自动化和数据驱动发现,与传统识别方法相比,提供了更高的灵活性,并显示出基于实验数据的可靠材料建模的强大潜力。

Background

Three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) has been widely applied for deformation measurement. However, the two-dimensional (2D) image coordinates based shape functions can not accurately describe the deformation characteristics since all tested objects are three-dimensional (3D).

Objective

The present work aims to address the issue of imperfect matching (either under-matching or over-matching) in the application of two-dimensional first- or second-order shape functions within the three-dimensional digital image correlation method.

Methods

This paper proposed a novel 3D coordinates correlation (3DCC) methodology that synergistically integrates fringe projection and speckle imaging techniques to advance deformation analysis. The proposed method utilizes 3D coordinates shape functions instead of 2D image coordinates ones, thereby aligning more closely with the principles of Strain-Displacement Relations in continuum mechanics, and significantly improving the accuracy of deformation measurement.

Results

Simulation experiments were conducted to assess its convergence and accuracy with Gaussian image noise. Comparative analyses were performed between the commercial 3D-DIC software and the proposed 3DCC method using two real experiments: a pure translation of a wedge-shaped mechanical element and a four-point bending of an acrylic beam. A greater than 50% enhancement in accuracy has been achieved.

Conclusions

The experimental results demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed 3DCC method in measuring displacement and strain, particularly for objects with complex geometries or those undergoing non-trivial deformations.

三维数字图像相关(3D-DIC)技术在变形测量中得到了广泛的应用。然而,由于所有被测物体都是三维的,基于二维图像坐标的形状函数不能准确地描述变形特征。目的解决二维一阶或二阶形状函数在三维数字图像相关方法中的不完全匹配问题(匹配不足或匹配过度)。方法提出了一种新的三维坐标相关(3DCC)方法,该方法将条纹投影和散斑成像技术协同集成,以推进变形分析。该方法采用三维坐标形状函数代替二维图像坐标形状函数,更符合连续介质力学中应变-位移关系的原理,显著提高了变形测量的精度。结果通过仿真实验,验证了该算法在高斯图像噪声下的收敛性和精度。采用楔形机械元件的纯平移和亚克力梁的四点弯曲两个真实实验,对商用3D-DIC软件和提出的3DCC方法进行了对比分析。准确度提高了50%以上。实验结果证明了所提出的3DCC方法在测量位移和应变方面的准确性,特别是对于具有复杂几何形状或经历重大变形的物体。

Background

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a non-contact optical measurement method widely employed for measuring object motion and deformation. However, traditional 2D-DIC fails in scenarios involving large-angle specimen rotation or off-axis due to geometric correspondence violations and severe decorrelation.

Objective

To overcome this fundamental limitation, we introduce the Affine-Projection Transformation DIC (APT-DIC) method.

Methods

Our novel approach features a two-stage rectification mechanism driven by Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF): an initial affine transformation rectifies in-plane rotational distortions, which is then seamlessly followed by a projective transformation to compensate for out-of-plane rotation effects. Rigorous validation experiments confirm the stable DIC computation capability of the method under geometric correspondence alterations and large rotations. Controlled variable tests demonstrate the Pareto optimality of APT in rectification efficiency while maintaining robustness within calibration regions containing irregular deformation fields.

Results

When applied to gear deformation monitoring, APT-DIC achieves remarkable agreement between the calculated full-field displacements, strain evolution trends, and reference values.

Conclusion

This work establishes a new paradigm for high-fidelity deformation characterization in rotating machinery and other scenarios involving large rotations, paving the way for reliable measurements in previously challenging environments.

背景数字图像相关(DIC)是一种非接触式光学测量方法,广泛应用于测量物体运动和变形。然而,由于几何对应违反和严重的去相关,传统的2D-DIC在涉及大角度试样旋转或离轴的情况下失效。目的引入仿射投影变换DIC (APT-DIC)方法,克服这一基本缺陷。该方法采用一种由加速鲁棒特征(SURF)驱动的两阶段校正机制:初始仿射变换校正面内旋转畸变,然后无缝地进行投影变换以补偿面外旋转效应。严格的验证实验证实了该方法在几何对应关系变化和大旋转条件下具有稳定的DIC计算能力。控制变量测试证明了APT在校正效率上的帕累托最优性,同时在包含不规则变形场的校准区域内保持鲁棒性。结果将APT-DIC应用于齿轮变形监测时,计算得到的全场位移、应变演化趋势与参考值具有较好的一致性。这项工作为旋转机械和其他涉及大旋转的场景的高保真变形表征建立了一个新的范例,为在以前具有挑战性的环境中进行可靠的测量铺平了道路。

Background

Backstress is known to contribute significantly to observed flow stress in metals, but has not been systematically quantified across a wide range of alloys. The stress dip test is one method for conveniently obtaining the required information.

Objective

This paper seeks to measure backstress vs deformation level in two titanium alloys, and to compare those observations with other metals. Subtleties relating to the stress dip test are also assessed.

Methods

The stress dip test is employed to quantify backstress in grade 4 commercially pure titanium, and in Ti-6Al-4V after various levels of room temperature tensile deformation. The observations are compared with predictions using a crystal plasticity model with dislocation-based hardening, and an integral phenomenological backstress law.

Results

When compared with tests on AA6016-T4 and pure tantalum, the general material responses are similar, with backstress accounting for less than 50% of flow stress in undeformed materials, but subsequently rising with plastic strain levels. Rapid relaxation of a portion of the backstress, which occurs in the Ta and Al, is not as noticeable in the titanium alloys. Unlike the Ta and AA 6016 materials, reverse yielding is not noticeable in the titanium alloys until compressive stresses are applied. The plasticity model captures the main characteristics of the stress dip test well.

Conclusions

The stress dip test is an underutilized method for extracting backstress information, revealing contrasting responses for different alloys. The overall undeformed backstress levels calculated from the method were initially higher than those for Al, but in line with that of Ta, starting at around 45% of the flow stress, and rising to above 60% with deformation (in the case of the grade 4 material). The material response can be predicted using a relatively standard crystal plasticity model with an additional phenomenological backstress law.

背景背景应力是已知的显著贡献观察到的金属流动应力,但尚未在广泛的合金系统量化。应力倾角试验是一种方便获取所需信息的方法。目的测量两种钛合金的背应力与变形水平,并与其他金属进行比较。还评估了与应力倾斜测试有关的细微之处。方法采用应力倾试验法定量测定4级市产纯钛和Ti-6Al-4V合金在不同程度的室温拉伸变形后的背应力。将观察结果与基于位错硬化的晶体塑性模型和积分现象学背应力定律的预测结果进行了比较。结果与AA6016-T4和纯钽的试验相比,材料的总体响应相似,在未变形材料中,背应力占流动应力的比例小于50%,但随着塑性应变水平的提高而上升。部分背应力的快速松弛,在Ta和Al中发生,在钛合金中不那么明显。与Ta和AA 6016材料不同,在施加压应力之前,钛合金的反向屈服是不明显的。塑性模型很好地反映了应力倾角试验的主要特征。结论应力倾角试验是一种未充分利用的提取背应力信息的方法,可以揭示不同合金的对比响应。该方法计算的总体未变形背应力水平最初高于Al,但与Ta一致,从流动应力的45%左右开始,随着变形上升到60%以上(在4级材料的情况下)。材料响应可以用一个相对标准的晶体塑性模型和附加的唯象背应力定律来预测。

A Digital Image Correlation Approach for High-Cycles Fatigue Test 高周疲劳试验的数字图像相关方法
IF 2.4 3区 工程技术 Q2 MATERIALS SCIENCE, CHARACTERIZATION & TESTING Pub Date : 2026-04-20 DOI: 10.1007/s11340-026-01298-y

Background:

Material testing under fatigue load has been crucial in mechanical design, ever since the first relevant failures due to fatigue load produced catastrophic outcomes. In particular, high-cycle fatigue loading is quite common for most mechanical components. However, high-cycle fatigue tests require the specimen to undergo hundreds of thousands of cycles before failure occurs. Therefore, cycling must be performed as quickly as possible.

Objective:

Consequently, image acquisition becomes challenging because it requires synchronization with the loading cycle, high-speed acquisition, dynamic sampling, and failure detection. The standard solution to these problems is to stop the testing periodically and perform image acquisition. However, this requires continuous monitoring by a skilled operator. This work proposes an innovative low-cost experimental setup that performs such measurements in-line – with no interruption of the test – and without human interaction.

Methods:

By continuously monitoring the load and displacement signals of the testing machine, it is possible, on the one hand, to accurately synchronize image acquisition with the loading cycle and, on the other hand, to estimate the damage history to dynamically adjust image sampling.

Results:

Experimental tests prove that the proposed methodology enables the acquisition of blur-free images without pausing the test and using a standard camera.

Conclusions:

The proposed experimental approach allows for fully automatic monitoring of high-cycle fatigue tests. The system can collect images and track damage evolution through the final stage of the test with no human interaction.

背景:疲劳载荷下的材料测试在机械设计中一直是至关重要的,因为疲劳载荷导致的第一次相关失效产生了灾难性的后果。特别是,对于大多数机械部件来说,高周疲劳载荷是相当常见的。然而,高周疲劳试验要求试样在失效前经历数十万次循环。因此,骑行必须尽快进行。目的:因此,图像采集变得具有挑战性,因为它需要与加载周期同步,高速采集,动态采样和故障检测。解决这些问题的标准方法是定期停止测试并进行图像采集。然而,这需要熟练的操作人员进行持续监控。这项工作提出了一种创新的低成本实验装置,可以在不中断测试的情况下进行在线测量,而且不需要人工干预。方法:通过连续监测试验机的载荷和位移信号,一方面可以将图像采集与加载周期精确同步,另一方面可以估计损伤历史,从而动态调整图像采样。结果:实验测试证明,所提出的方法可以在不暂停测试和使用标准相机的情况下获得无模糊图像。结论:提出的实验方法允许全自动监测高周疲劳试验。该系统可以在没有人工干预的情况下,在测试的最后阶段收集图像并跟踪损伤的演变。通过在实验装置中添加一些低成本的组件,所提出的方法避免了频闪灯和/或高速摄像机的使用。

Background

The mechanical behavior of historical oil paint is governed by complex, multiscale chemo-mechanical processes that evolve over decades. Yet, existing mechanical testing approaches cannot fully characterize its tensile response or resolve the microscale deformation and damage phenomena that drive cracking and delamination in historical artworks.

Objective

The aim of this work is to develop an experimental method capable of capturing the mechanical response of small-sized paint samples and linking local deformation and damage mechanisms to their overall tensile behavior.

Methods

A novel methodology is introduced that combines in-situ micro-tensile testing and high-magnification optical profilometry with full-field Digital Image Correlation for the first time in oil paint research. The method enables the construction of multiple true stress–true strain curves and the extraction of mesoscopic and macroscopic mechanical properties from a single experiment, allowing statistically meaningful characterization from minimal paint material.

Results

The mesoscale and macroscopic responses provide key mechanical properties (Young’s modulus, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, strain at break, and Poisson’s ratio) consistent with values reported in the literature. Full-field measurements reveal strain localization near pigment-rich regions, where damage accumulates and microcracks initiate. The tested aged samples consistently exhibit increased stiffness and brittleness, while differences in chemical formulation (Prussian Blue versus Titanium White pigments) lead to distinct ductile or brittle responses.

Conclusions

The proposed methodology enables comprehensive multiscale mechanical characterization of oil paint and captures the deformation mechanisms underlying aging and composition-dependent behavior, representing an important step toward the mechanical characterization of original historical paint material.

历史上油画颜料的力学行为是由复杂的、多尺度的化学力学过程所控制的,这些过程经过几十年的发展。然而,现有的力学测试方法不能完全表征其拉伸响应,也不能解决导致历史艺术品开裂和分层的微观变形和损伤现象。本工作的目的是开发一种能够捕获小尺寸油漆样品的机械响应的实验方法,并将局部变形和损伤机制与它们的整体拉伸行为联系起来。方法在油彩研究中首次提出了一种将原位微拉伸测试、高倍率光学轮廓术与全视野数字图像相关相结合的新方法。该方法能够构建多个真应力-真应变曲线,并从单个实验中提取介观和宏观力学性能,允许从最小的涂料材料中进行统计上有意义的表征。结果中观和宏观响应提供了与文献报道值一致的关键力学性能(杨氏模量、屈服强度、极限抗拉强度、断裂应变和泊松比)。全场测量显示应变局部化附近的色素丰富的区域,在那里损伤积累和微裂纹开始。经过测试的老化样品始终表现出增加的刚度和脆性,而化学配方的差异(普鲁士蓝与钛白颜料)导致不同的延展性或脆性反应。本文提出的方法能够对油漆进行全面的多尺度力学表征,并捕捉到老化和成分依赖行为背后的变形机制,这是对原始历史油漆材料进行力学表征的重要一步。

Background

Reliable full-field quantification of principal stress difference (PSD) under continuous loading remains challenging in photoelastic models with structural heterogeneity because of fringe complexity and order ambiguity.

Objective

This study presents a digital photoelasticity workflow for full-field PSD quantification in continuously loaded 3D-printed rock models.

Methods

The workflow integrates (i) native-resolution, one-pixel-wide skeletonization of integer- and half-integer-order fringes, (ii) region-specific reference-intensity normalization to suppress fringe-order-dependent drift, and (iii) skeleton-guided phase unwrapping based on deterministic half-order fringe-region partitioning. Representative 3D-printed rock models containing irregular fractures, particles, and pores are used for method evaluation.

Results

Accuracy is benchmarked against a ten-step phase-shifting reference during a brief load-hold. Centerline-profile comparisons across the fracture, particle, and pore models yield a mean NRMSE of 2.2%. The resulting PSD maps remain smooth and physically consistent while resolving stress concentrations near crack tips, particle–matrix interfaces, and pore edges.

Conclusions

The proposed workflow enables accurate full-field PSD quantification under continuous loading in structurally heterogeneous, plane-stress photoelastic models.

在具有结构非均质性的光弹性模型中,由于条纹的复杂性和顺序的模糊性,连续载荷作用下主应力差(PSD)的可靠全场量化仍然是一个挑战。目的提出一种用于连续加载3d打印岩石模型全场PSD量化的数字光弹性工作流程。该工作流集成了(i)整数阶和半整数阶条纹的原生分辨率、一像素宽的骨架化,(ii)特定区域的参考强度归一化以抑制条纹阶相关漂移,以及(iii)基于确定性半阶条纹区域划分的骨架引导相位展开。采用具有代表性的含有不规则裂缝、颗粒和孔隙的3d打印岩石模型进行方法评估。结果在短暂负载保持期间,对十步相移参考进行了精度基准测试。通过裂缝、颗粒和孔隙模型的中心线剖面比较,平均NRMSE为2.2%。得到的PSD图在解决裂纹尖端、颗粒-基质界面和孔隙边缘附近的应力集中时保持光滑和物理一致性。结论所提出的工作流程能够在结构非均质平面应力光弹性模型中实现连续载荷下的精确全场PSD量化。

Background

Multi-layer tensioned membrane structures offer order-of-magnitude mass savings compared to rigid-deployable structures for spacecraft. Example applications include deployable sunshields and RF apertures like reflectarrays or phased arrays. However, these applications have tight shape accuracy requirements and benefit from precise measurement during ground testing to verify their planarity and membrane layer separation. There are currently no techniques for measuring full-field multi-layer membrane deformation in a laboratory environment.

Objective

We propose a new metrology technique using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) with a combination of UV and visible inks and light sources to fully reconstruct two parallel tensioned membranes. The technique is also used to obtain full-field separation data between the membrane layers.

Methods

Five sets of validation tests were performed to assess the technique and quantify sources of systematic error and experimental uncertainty. The technique was also applied to an example problem comparing the mechanics of scalloped and square membrane pairs.

Results

The technique was determined to have an out-of-plane precision of less than 50 µm, equivalent to twice the membrane thickness and only 0.5% of the membrane separation distance. The in-plane resolution was 0.95 mm. We showed that scalloped membranes maintained a more consistent separation across varying loads than square membranes.

Conclusions

The technique enables full-field multi-layer membrane reconstruction. It is proven for two layers and extendable to more layers by using different inks, light sources, and filters.

与航天器的刚性展开结构相比,多层张拉膜结构提供了数量级的质量节省。示例应用包括可展开的遮阳板和射频孔径,如反射射线或相控阵。然而,这些应用具有严格的形状精度要求,并受益于地面测试期间的精确测量,以验证其平面度和膜层分离。目前还没有在实验室环境下测量多层膜的全场变形的技术。目的提出了一种新的测量技术,利用数字图像相关(DIC)技术,结合UV和可见光油墨和光源,对两个平行拉伸膜进行全面重建。该技术还用于获得膜层之间的全场分离数据。方法进行5组验证试验,对技术进行评估,量化系统误差和实验不确定度的来源。该技术还应用于一个比较扇形膜和方形膜对力学的实例问题。结果该技术的面外精度小于50µm,相当于膜厚度的2倍,仅为膜分离距离的0.5%。面内分辨率为0.95 mm。我们发现扇形膜比方形膜在不同负载下保持更一致的分离。结论该技术可实现全视野多层膜重建。它已被证明适用于两层,并可通过使用不同的油墨、光源和过滤器扩展到更多层。
