Deformation measurements by digital image correlation: Implementation of a second-order displacement gradient

This paper outlines the procedure for refining the digital image correlation (DIC) method by implementing a second-order approximation of the displacement gradients. The second-order approximation allows the DIC method to directly measure both the first- and second-order displacement gradients resulting from nonlinear deformation. Thirteen unknown parameters, consisting of the components of displacement, the first- and second-order displacement gradients and the gray-scale value offset, are determined through optimization of a correlation coefficient. The previous DIC method assumes that the local deformation in a subset of pixels is represented by a first-order Taylor series approximation for the displacement gradient terms, so actual deformations consisting of higher order displacement gradients tend to distort the infinitesimal strain measurements. By refining the method to measure both the first- and second-order displacement gradients, more accurate strain measurements can be achieved in large-deformation situations where second-order deformations are also present. In most cases, the new refinements allow the DIC method to maintain an accuracy of ±0.0002 for the first-order displacement gradients and to reach ±0.0002 per pixel for the second-order displacement gradients.

为降低背景光噪声对数字摄像法夜间能见度测量的不确定性影响,对双光源法能见度测量系统进行改进。该系统利用避光筒限制CCD相机视场角,拍摄2个位于不同距离的LED背光源,然后对摄取到的图像进行处理得到光源图像的灰度值,再根据阿拉德定律求得大气消光系数,计算出大气能见度值。通过在无背景光、有背景光未加避光筒和加避光筒3种条件下的比对实验,分析光源图像的灰度信息,并将实验结果进行处理,得出有避光筒和无避光筒时测得的能见度值与无背景光下测量结果的相关系数分别是0.911 3和0.322 7,均方根相对偏差分别是6.87% 和23.38%。结果表明:系统抑制背景光噪声的能力明显增强,能较准确地测量夜间能见度。

Nonlinear resonant tunneling diode (RTD) circuits for microwave A/D conversion

Short-duration electrical pulses play important roles in ultrafast time-domain metrology: they are used to sample rapidly varying signals or as probe signals in ranging radars, time-domain reflectometry and in communication. In this work, we design a nonlinear transmission, which is loaded with resonant tunneling diode to be suitable for microwave A/D conversion. A resonant tunneling diode (RTD) has a negative differential resistance that means when the voltage increases the current decreases. The equivalent circuit of monostable line is given. The simulation is performed by using OrCad program. Results show that a spike is produced and after a charging time constant, another switching occurs. Hence – similar to a relaxation oscillator – the spiking period is determined by the amplitude and frequency of the input current. The transmission line itself ensures the generation and propagation of identical spikes, such as solitons formed after few diodes.     

Digital holographic cameras and data processing for remote monitoring and measurements of mechanical parts

Fast growing technology and requirements for testing of different types of materials and devices require new methods and systems for investigation of their parameters. Among the quantities of high interest are shape, deformation, roughness, local materials constants, displacement, and strain fields of elements under load. In the paper, we present novel solutions for digital holographic cameras, which allow for remote monitoring and measurement of the above mentioned quantities at small mechanical objects or at restricted areas of interest at big structures. The systems have compact design, “black box” measurement approach, and allows for fast and accurate measurements performed directly at the element and often in outdoor environment. The principles of digital and optoelectronic reconstruction and phase manipulation are described together with the exemplary measurement results obtained by means of the cameras presented.
