Abstract

This paper demonstrates the ability to determine the individual full-field components of stress, strain and displacement in finite asymmetrical engineering structures from recorded values of a single displacement component while not necessitating differentiation of the measured displacement data; a process which can be ill-conditioned and adversely influenced by data noise and quality. While the present approach of processing recorded displacements with a stress function is not new, previous cases have been restricted to symmetrical scenarios. Full-field displacements are measured here using the digital image correlation (DIC) method. As well as satisfying load equilibrium, the experimental results agree with those predicted using the finite element method (FEM).
