Abstract
The interior deformation or rupture of materials is usually derived from measuring the surface deformation of specimens. In this study, a set of uniaxial compression tests combined with in situ X-ray computed tomography (CT) was performed on siltstone specimens with a pre- existing three-dimensional (3D) surface flaw with various inclination angles (α = 30◦, 45◦, 60◦). The ratio of flaw depth to specimen thickness was 0.26. Based on the CT images of the specimens under different loads, the digital volumetric speckle photography procedure was applied to quantifying the 3D interior deformation of the specimens, and 3D displacement and major principal strain ε1 distribution in different sections were determined. The characteristics of internal strain before specimen fracturing indicated strain localization, which could describe the propagation mechanism of the single 3D surface flaw.
