Study on Fracture Properties of Mortar Based on Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry

Abstract:

With high resolution, electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) technique can be useful in measuring full-filed deformation of laboratory specimens. In this study, ESPI was applied to measure the full-field displacements of mortar beam subjected to three-point bend. Load-displacement curves measured by ESPI were compared to that measured by clip gauge and LVDTs. Satisfactory agreement was observed in all the comparisons, demonstrating the effectiveness and accuracy of ESPI measurement. Furthermore, load versus crack tip opening displacement curve was obtained from ESPI results. Finally, extent of the fracture process zone and neutral axis of the mortar beam were analyzed based on full-filed displacement contour measured by ESPI.
