    International audience3D kinematic fields are measured using an original stereovision system composed of one infrared (IR) and one visible light camera. Global stereocorrelation (SC) is proposed to register pictures shot by both imaging systems. The stereo rig is calibrated by using a NURBS representation of the 3D target. The projection matrices are determined by an integrated approach. The effect of gray level and distortion corrections is assessed on the projection matrices. SC is performed once the matrices are calibrated to measure 3D displacements. Amplitudes varying from 0 to 800 µm are well captured for in-plane and out-of-plane motions. It is shown that when known rigid body translations are applied to the target, the calibration can be improved when its actual metrology is approximate. Applications are shown for two different setups for which the resolution of the IR camera has been modified

    International audienceThe purpose of the experiment described herein is the study of material deformation (here a cylinder) induced by explosives. During its expansion, the cylinder (initially 3 mm thick) is thinning until fracture appears. Some tens of microseconds before destruction, strain localizations occur and induce mechanical necking. To characterize the time of first localizations, 25 stereoscopic acquisitions at about 500,000 frames per second are used by resorting to a single ultra-high speed camera. The 3D reconstruction from stereoscopic movies is described. A special calibration procedure is followed, namely, the calibration target is imaged during the experiment itself. To characterize the performance of the present procedure, resolution and optical distortions are estimated. The principle of stereoscopic reconstruction of an object subjected to a high speed experiment is then developed. This reconstruction is achieved by using a global image correlation code that exploits random markings on the object outer surface. The spatial resolution of the estimated surface is evaluated thanks to a realistic image pair synthesis. Last, the time evolution of surface roughness is estimated. It gives access to the onset of necking

    In industrial plants, regular inspections are planned to assess the internal state of installations. If some cracks are revealed, it is desirable to know whether the structure can still be used or if a degraded mode of operation should be considered. Starting from a linear elastic fracture mechanics model, the work presented studied the scatter of the remaining life of such cracked parts due to the uncertainties on the parameters of the prediction model. Initial crack size, material properties and input parameters of Paris’ law have been considered as random variables and their distributions have been experimentally identified and fitted with convenient statistical laws. Time Of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) and field measurement technique based on Digital Image Correlation (DIC) were used to monitor the crack propagation initiated from a notch introduced in specimen submitted to uniaxial cyclic loading. Experimental crack length results were used to initiate computations and as a mean to validate numerical results. Both the crack lengths distributions resulting from the application of loading cycles and the distribution of the number of cycles leading to a given crack length were obtained from a Monte-Carlo method applied to the prediction model. The fit of these distributions with log-normal laws provided analytical tools to assess probabilistic crack propagation. It allowed for risk mapping and for the evaluation of the studied component’s reliability evolution. Last, the effects of an actualisation of crack length knowledge along the life of this component in terms of assessment uncertainty and predicted residual life extension has been studied. Especially, to limit the cost of non-destructive techniques inspection in industrial cases, a reliability-based strategy has been proposed for the optimisation of the crack knowledge actualisation.Dans les installations industrielles, des inspections régulières sont planifiées pour évaluer l’état de santé interne des composants. Si des fissures sont révélées, il est souhaitable de savoir si l’exploitation de la structure peut se poursuivre ou si un régime de fonctionnement dégradé pourrait être envisagé. En se basant sur la mécanique élastique linéaire de la rupture, les travaux présentés traitent donc dans le cas de composants fissurés de la dispersion de durée de vie résiduelle relative aux incertitudes sur les paramètres du modèle de prévision. La longueur de fissure initiale, les propriétés du matériau ainsi que les paramètres d’entrée de la loi de Paris ont été considérés comme des variables aléatoires, dont les distributions ont été déterminées expérimentalement puis ajustées par des lois statistiques adéquates. Des contrôles ultrasonores par mesure du temps de vol de l’onde diffractée – Time Of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) en anglais – et des mesures de champs obtenues par corrélation d’images numériques ont été utilisés pour quantifier la propagation d’une fissure dans une éprouvette à défaut soumise à des sollicitations cycliques uniaxiales. Les données expérimentales recueillies ont été utilisées pour initialiser les calculs et valider les résultats numériques. Les distributions de taille de fissure obtenue après un nombre donné de cycles de sollicitation et de nombre de cycles de sollicitation conduisant à une taille définie de fissure ont été obtenues par une méthode de Monte-Carlo appliquée au modèle de prévision. L’ajustement de ces distributions par de lois log-normales a fourni des outils analytiques d’estimation probabiliste de propagation de fissure. Cela a notamment permis la réalisation de cartographies de risques et l’évaluation de l’évolution de la fiabilité du composant étudié. Enfin, les effets d’une actualisation de la connaissance de la longueur de fissure au cours de la vie de ce composant en termes d’incertitude de prévision et d’extension de durée de vie résiduelle prévisionnelle ont été étudiés. En particulier, afin de limiter le coût des campagnes de contrôle non destructifs dans le cas industriel, une stratégie d’optimisation de l’actualisation de cette connaissance basée sur l’étude de fiabilité a été proposée
