Digital Image Correlation Strain Field Analysis of Materials for Target Systems

Many accelerator facilities are currently being limited in beam power by their target facilities. When exposed to high-energy proton beams, target systems experience radiation damage, mechanical stress, and extreme temperatures, altering their physical properties.For example, due to defects induced in materials by high-energy protons, the physical properties of materials will change during irradiation. Conducting PIEs (Post Irradiation Examinations) can help us understand how the materials can change.Analyzing the strain field across an irradiated sample can help identify where defects have been created, how the hardness of materials have changed, and where they will experience failure.

Methodology for Digital Image Correlation and Infrared Measurement of Melting Aluminum Bars

Ultimately, our experiment measures two quantities on an aluminum bar: motion (which modeling must predict) and temperature (which sets thermal boundary conditions). For motion, stereo DIC is a technique to use imaging data to provide displacements relative to a reference image down to 1/100th of a pixel. We use a calibrated infrared imaging method for accurate temperature measurements. We will be capturing simultaneous data and then registering temperature data in space to the same coordinate system as the displacement data. While we will later show that our experiments are repeatable, indicating that separate experiments for motion and temperature would provide similar data, the simultaneous and registered data removes test to test variability as a source of uncertainty for model calibration and reduces the number of time-consuming tests that must be performed.
