In the fields of Additive Manufacturing (AM) and composite materials, the application of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) plays a crucial role in understanding and characterizing mechanical behavior. DIC has significantly contributed to the comprehension of deformation and stress in materials, including composites, by providing high-resolution and accurate measurements. This study focuses on optimizing the speckle pattern used to analyze deformation distribution, strain, and Poisson’s ratio during tensile and shear tests of composite and AM materials using DIC simulation. The experimental tests are conducted following ASTM standards D638 for tensile testing and D7078 for shear testing.
In this study, DIC simulation was successfully performed using two software packages: MATLAB for visualizing deformation distribution and ZEISS CORRELATE for visualizing strain and displacement. Optimization was carried out on the manufacturing of speckle patterns for tensile and shear testing of Polylactide Acid - Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (PLA-GFRP) composites. The optimization focused on the density and quality of the speckle patterns, beginning with the fabrication of a speckle pattern stamp with a density of 60%, a variation of 40%, and a speckle diameter of 0.8 mm. Among the three methods compared, the speckle pattern combination exhibited the highest quality and density compared to the speckle pattern spray and speckle pattern stamp methods. Furthermore, the speckle pattern combination was capable of visualizing initial cracks during the elastic phase of tensile and shear tests. Additionally, this method demonstrated displacement results that were accurate and closely aligned with calibration data. The strain and Poisson’s ratio visualized using the speckle pattern combination also showed the closest agreement with the theoretical values for aluminum.
The DIC simulation revealed that the PLA-GFRP composite material does not exhibit necking but tends to fail abruptly upon reaching the ultimate tensile strength (UTS). Poisson’s ratio calculated using DIC showed relatively large values due to the small deformations observed in each region analyzed. Additionally, the tensile strain obtained from the DIC simulation demonstrated a linear decrease corresponding to the reduction in infill density. This finding confirms that infill density significantly influences the strength and strain behavior of both PLA and PLA-GFRP composites. The results from DIC analysis during tensile and shear tests, including Poisson’s ratio, strain, fracture strain, and elastic modulus, can be effectively used as input parameters for finite element method (FEM) analysis. The strain data generated from the ABAQUS simulation is the same as the data generated from the DIC simulation. This indicates that data from the DIC simulation can be used as input data for the ABAQUS simulation.
