What is the procedure for using the Digital Image Correlation technique with GOM correlate software to analyze a rough surface?

28 March 2023 1 756 Report

To date, I have only encountered academic literature pertaining to the Digital Image Correlation (DIG) of 2D or 3D smooth surfaces. Regrettably, I have yet to find any research publications regarding DIG analysis of rough surfaces.

The Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique is a powerful tool for analyzing the deformation and strain of a rough surface. GOM Correlate is a popular software package for analyzing DIC data. Here is a general procedure for using GOM Correlate to analyze a rough surface using DIC:

Capture images of the surface: You will need to capture a series of images of the surface under investigation. The images should be taken from different angles and positions to ensure good coverage of the surface. You should also capture images of the surface before and after deformation or loading.

Import images into GOM Correlate: Once you have captured the images, you will need to import them into GOM Correlate. You can do this by selecting "File" -> "Open Images" from the main menu.

Define the region of interest (ROI): You will need to define the region of interest (ROI) in the images that you want to analyze. The ROI should cover the entire surface of interest. You can define the ROI using the "Region of Interest" tool in GOM Correlate.

Apply pre-processing filters: Before analyzing the images, you may want to apply pre-processing filters to remove noise and enhance the contrast. GOM Correlate provides several pre-processing filters, such as Gaussian filtering, FFT filtering, and background subtraction.

Set up the correlation parameters: You will need to set up the correlation parameters in GOM Correlate. This includes selecting the correlation algorithm, setting the search range, and defining the subset size.

Compute the displacement and strain: Once the correlation parameters are set, you can compute the displacement and strain using GOM Correlate. GOM Correlate will generate displacement and strain maps for the surface under investigation.

Analyze the results: You can analyze the displacement and strain maps to gain insights into the deformation behavior of the surface. You can also generate graphs and charts to visualize the results.

This general procedure should give you a good starting point for using GOM Correlate to analyze a rough surface using DIC. However, it is important to note that the exact procedure may vary depending on the specific surface and application being analyzed.
