Full field study of strain distribution near the crack tip in the fracture of solid propellants via large strain digital image correlation and optical microscopy

A full field method for visualizing deformation around the crack tip in a fracture process with large strains is developed. A digital image correlation program (DIC) is used to incrementally compute strains and displacements between two consecutive images of a deformation process. Values of strain a...
