Eine Eeue Technik zur Präzisen Rissfortschrittsmessung im DCB oder im Keilversuch = A novel technique for precise crack length measurement in the DCB or wedge test
PublicationDiverse methods have been tried to study crack length, most basic relying on direct, or microscopic, observation of the crack tip position. Optical correlation, both lasermoiré and speckle interferometry, a single strain gauge and displacement sensorshave also been employed. Crack length measurement is, however, delicate. We present a novel method making use of strain gauges attached to one of the adherends.
