Abstract

The effects of three artifacts (reconstruction, beam hardening and temperature of the X-ray tube) associated with the use of a lab tomograph are analyzed in terms of their induced biases for Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) from a series of reconstructed volumes acquired successively. The most detrimental effect is due to spurious dilatational strains induced by temperature variations in the tomograph. If they are not accounted for, any quantitative kinematic measurement is impossible for strain levels below 0.5%.
