Using the method of correlation of digital images for plotting stress–strain curves in true coordinates

This article describes the features of determining strain curves in true stress–true strain coordinates, using samples of circular cross section from Al–Cu–Mg–Zn aluminum alloy. The calculation and experimental methods of determining true stresses and strains were compared Calculation methods based on the condition of volume constancy may not reflect actual regularities of deformation at the stage of strain localization in the considered material. Nevertheless, the use of systems of digital image correlation (DIC) allows measurements of both the geometrical sizes of deformed sample and strain fields on its surface to be performed, including on the sample neck. It was demonstrated that the measurement error of the sample diameter by the coordinate field was 0.02 mm at the instance of destruction. In order to improve the measurement precision, an increase in the recording frequency in proportion to increase in strain rate was proposed, as well as measuring the surface coordinates from both sides of the sample. It is also possible to supplement the strain curves obtained by DIC optical systems with the measurements of true fracture stress, and the true fracture strain determined by calculations on the destructed sample. The presented methods of analysis of plastic flow by direct measurement of field displacements and strains allow actual regularities between true stresses and strains at the interval of irregular plastic strain to be established. This cannot be achieved by analytical conversion of conventional curve. The obtained hardening coefficients and strain curves can be used for simulation and design of machinery structures and parts.
