Abstract
A DIC-FEM hybrid method is proposed to capture micro-scale deformation behavior near the fiber-matrix interface by combining displacement distributions measured using digital image correlation (DIC) with finite element method (FEM) analysis. Images of CFRP cross section with fine random pattern before and after deformation are taken with a laser microscope. The in-plane displacement components near the interface of fiber and matrix are obtained using digital image correlation and they are used as the input of the hybrid method. Not only the displacement distributions but the strain fields are determined using the proposed hybrid method, based on the superposition principle, so that the same distributions are obtained as those obtained by the measurement. The proposed DIC-FEM hybrid provides the strains near the interface between fiber and matrix, compensating for the insufficient resolution of microscope images.
