In Vitro Measurement of Strain Localization Preceding Dissection of the Aortic Wall Subjected to Radial Tension
2020
AbstractBackgroundAortic dissection (AD) is a common pathology and challenging clinical problem. A better understanding of the biomechanical effects preceding its initiation is essential for predicting adverse events on a patient-specific basis. Moreover, the predictability of patient-specific biomechanics-based computational models is hampered by uncertainty about boundary conditions and material properties.ObjectivePredisposition of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) to ADs can be related to the degradation of biomechanically important constituents in the aortic wall of TAAs. The goal of the present study is to develop a new methodology to measure strain fields in aortic tissues subjected to…
Evaluation of continuous filament mat influence on the bending behaviour of GFRP pultruded material via Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry
2017
Abstract Pultrusion is a process allowing the production of unidirectional (roving) fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) structural elements with constant cross section. Recently, also civil engineers focused their attention on pultruded composite materials as alternative to traditional ones (e.g., concrete, steel). Furthermore, to improve the transverse strength and stiffness with respect to the fibres direction, continuous filament mat (CFM) is often placed within the stacking sequence. The CFM influence on the global mechanical behaviour is not considered by appropriate actual international standards. In this paper, the influence of the CFM layers on the mechanical behaviour of glass fibres pu…
Digital Correlation Method Based on Microgeometrical Texture Patterns for Strain Fields Measurements
2005
International audience; Digital correlation method is widely used in experimental mechanics to obtain the deformation field. Currently this method is applied with digital images of the initial and deformed surface sprayed with black or white painting. Speckle patterns are then captured and the correlation can be made with high 0.01 pixel accuracy in 2D-cases. In three-dimensions, the stereo-correlation can be used with a lower accuracy. The work presented in this paper, is a first approach based on the use of a 3D laser scanner in the objective of three-dimensional strain field measurement. The digital speckle patterns are not given by gray level but from the micro-geometrical surface textu…
