ABSTRACT
This work analyses damage formation within the bulk of basalt fiber-reinforced polymers (BFRP) by means of open-source Digital Volume Correlation (DVC). Volumetric image data were obtained from conventional in-situ X-Ray computed micro-tomography (µCT) of samples loaded in tension. The open-source image registration toolkit Elastix was employed to obtain full 3D displacement fields from the image data. We assessed the accuracy of the DVC results using the method of manufactured solution and showed that the approach followed here can detect deformation with a magnitude in the order of a fiber diameter which in the present case is 17 µm. The beneficial influence of regularization on DVC results is presented on the manufactured solution as well as on real in-situ tensile testing CT data of a BFRP sample. Results of the correlation showed that conventional µCT equipment in combination with DVC can be used to detect defects which could previously only be visualized using synchrotron facilities or destructive methods.
