Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for measuring full-field strain of an ultra-high temperature (UHT) object based on a digital image correlation method. The temperature range is from normal temperature to 3500 degrees Celsius. The method includes the steps of selecting a proper high-temperature-resistant speckle material, tantalum carbide powder, according to the characteristics of the object to be measured. First, polishing a to-be-measured surface of a tungsten test piece to remove an oxide layer, then mixing the tantalum carbide (TaC) powder and absolute ethanol to form a paste according to a mass ratio of 1:2. Making randomly distributed speckles from the mixture on the to-be-measured surface of the test piece which has been processed. In order to improve firmness and stability of the newly made speckles, performing curing treatment to the speckles.
Abstract:
A testing apparatus may include a stand having an aperture and a platform adjacent to the aperture, a clamp adjacent to the platform and configured to hold a coupon, and an actuator within the aperture. The actuator is configured to impart a first force on the platform and the coupon at a specified frequency. The testing apparatus may also include a displacement sensor adjacent to the stand and configured to measure a displacement of the coupon and circuitry connected to the actuator and the displacement sensor with the circuitry configured to collect data from the actuator and the displacement sensor.

Abstract:
Inspection of microelectronic devices is described using near infrared light. In one example, a dielectric material layer on a substrate is illuminated with a near infrared light beam. The substrate has at least one contact land, the dielectric material layer overlies at least a portion of the contact land, and the substrate has at least one via defined in the dielectric material layer, the via exposing at least a portion of the contact land. Reflected near infrared light is reflected from the substrate at a camera. The position of the via is determined relative to the contact land from the reflected light beam using an image processing device.
Abstract:
A method and system for analysis of a viscoelastic response in a deformable material. The system includes a light source configured to provide linearly polarized light and a polariscope configured to receive said linearly polarized light and to generate an image associated with a viscoelastic response of said deformable material. The system also includes a machine vision system configured to operate on the image to locate the response on the deformable material and to classify the response as one of a plurality of predefined types of responses. A display may then be provide that is configured to provide feedback of the location of the viscoelastic response and classification of the response to a user of said system.
Abstract:
A system for monitoring a structure is built on a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted at the surface of the structure. A piece of single crystal silicon is mounted on the PCB and is in contact with the structure. An infrared source directly illuminates the silicon while an infrared detector is focused thereon to monitor isochromatic fringe patterns projected from the silicon as a direct indication of stress at the surface. One or more other sensors are coupled to the PCB for collecting data indicative of other physical conditions experienced by the structure. A wireless system communicates with each such sensor so that the data so collected can be received at a remote location.
Abstract:
A force and torque converter provides an electronic signal in response to at least one of an applied force and an applied torque. The converter includes a base, a movable member that provides movement relative to the base in response to the at least one of the applied force and the applied torque, a controlling mechanism, and a detection circuit. The controlling mechanism has a plurality of resilient mechanisms, connected to the base and co-acting with the movable member, that provide at least one of a restoring force and a restoring torque to the movable member in response to the at least one of the applied force and the applied torque. The controlling mechanism further includes a restraining member, disposed within the movable member, that restrains the movable member when the movable member is in contact with the restraining member. The detection circuit co-acts with the controlling mechanism, to detect the movement of the movable member relative to the base, and provide the electronic signal.

Apparatus and method for indicating stress in an object comprising viewing the temperature variation of part of the surface of the object as it is stressed. An infra-red detector detects small changes of temperature and the stress may be applied by natural loading or by cyclic stressing imposed by a vibrator.

Abstract:
A method is disclosed for measuring stress distribution generated on a structural object including two support parts and a beam part provided between the support parts. The method includes: generating first data by sensing, through a first sensing unit, of a moving object or an identification display object attached to the structural object; calculating, based on the first data, a movement duration in which the moving object moves between the support parts; generating, as second data, thermal data by sensing of a surface of the beam part through a second sensing unit; calculating a temperature change amount based on a second data group corresponding to the movement duration; and calculating a stress change amount based on the temperature change amount to calculate stress distribution based on the stress change amount.
