1. Assignment before the experiment
IMPORTANT: Note that you need to submit this assignment in order to attend the lab session. Please
be ready for a short discussion of your answers.
1) Read the material in reference [1].
2) Figures 1 and 2 below respectively show greyscale images of an object before and after motion. Figures 3
and 4 show the corresponding grey values. The grey values can be downloaded in tabulated form from
Brightspace in the file βSec5Ques2_data.β The object was subjected to a rigid body translation, but
random errors are present in the recorded greyscale values. Minimize the correlation function given by
Equation (1) in Section 2 to find out the displacement that has occurred. Use the subset shown by the
red box with size 4 x 4 in Figure 1 for this calculation.
Minimized correlation score: 0
Displacement:

3) What are the advantages of using DIC compared to strain gauges for the experiment?
- It is a non-contact measurement technique.
- It can be used to quantify strains over the entire field of view using a post-processing technique,
thereby capturing strain differences very well.
4) A sketch of the plate is given below.

5) Assuming a yield strength of 235 MPa and that the primary mechanism of force transfer is pure shear
between the attachment strips and the plate, calculate the maximum force and the corresponding number
of discs that the can be applied such that there is a safety factor of two from yielding.
Stress in pure shear at yielding:
ππ£π = β(
####### 1
2 ) (π 11 β π 22 ) + 3 β π 11
π 11 =
####### 1
####### β 3
β 235 = 135. 7 πππ
Applied force at yielding:
πΉ = π β π΄
π΄ = 60 ππ β 6 ππ β 2 = 0. 00072 π^ 2
πΉ = 97. 7 ππ
Maximum force with a safety factor of two:
πΉ =
####### 97. 7
####### 2
= 48. 8 ππ
Number of discs:
48. 8 β
####### 1000
