Systems and methods for detecting crack growth |
摘要 |
A system and method for detecting crack propagation in a material test specimen may include color contrasting a surface of a test specimen, acquiring a plurality of photographic images of the specimen during application of a stress load, processing the plurality of images to detect characteristics of pixels that are outside a baseline range of pixel characteristics indicative of a contrast between a crack in the test specimen and the color contrasted surface of the test specimen, and generating an output of a strain energy release rate based on changes in detected crack length over time. |

1. A method of detecting crack propagation in a material test specimen, comprising:
color contrasting a surface of a test specimen with the surface color of a background; supporting the test specimen over the background; acquiring a plurality of photographic images of the specimen during application of a stress load; processing the plurality of images to detect characteristics of pixels that are outside a baseline range of pixel characteristics indicative of a contrast between the background revealed through a crack in the test specimen and the color contrasted surface of the test specimen; and generating an output of a strain energy release rate based on changes in detected crack length over time. |
