Adaptive Isogeometric Digital Height Correlation: Application to Stretchable Electronics

Abstract

A novel adaptive isogeometric digital height correlation (DHC) technique has been developed in which the set of shape functions, needed for discretization of the ill-posed DHC problem, is autonomously optimized for each specific set of profilometric height images, without a priori knowledge of the kinematics of the experiment. To this end, an adaptive refinement scheme is implemented, which refines the shape functions in a hierarchical manner. This technique ensures local refinement, only in the areas where needed, which is beneficial for the noise robustness of the DHC problem. The main advantage of the method is that it can be applied in experiments where the deformation mechanisms are unknown in advance, thereby complicating the choice of suitable shape functions. The method is applied to a virtual experiment in order to provide a proof of concept. A second virtual experiment is executed with stretchable electronics interconnects, which entail localized buckles upon deformation with complex kinematics. In both cases, accurate results were obtained, demonstrating the beneficial aspects of the proposed method. Moreover, the technique performance on profilometric images of a real experiment with stretchable interconnects was demonstrated.

“…An alternative approach has been proposed, which enables the local refinement of the control grid . In a previous study, an adaptive refinement technique was performed in a hierarchical manner to describe geometries and displacements.…”

Automated identification of slip system activity fields from digital image correlation data

“…Finally, the identification could be extended to include additional measurement data to improve robustness and accuracy. For instance, (quasi-)3D DIC, also know as Digital Height Correlation [29] , could be employed on nanoscale Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) measurements, to access additional 3D displacement gradient tensor components, which can directly be included in the minimization function. Additionally, simultaneous in-situ EBSD (along DIC) [30] can yield local lattice rotations, and in particular their rotation axes, which might also contribute to the identification.…”

Integrated digital image correlation for micro-mechanical parameter identification in multiscale experiments

“…Although 3D effects are crucial for accurate identification, they are difficult to capture, and are capable of introducing large errors when not treated properly. Methodologies accounting for out-of-plane motion effects should be considered in such cases, including digital height correlation (Kleinendorst et al, 2016;Uzun and Korsunsky, 2019), digital volume correlation (Leclerc et al, 2011), and full 3D models.
