    Abstract: Method for measuring residual strain in a cured composite part includes taking a first image of at least two spaced apart particles positioned on a side of the cured composite part with the side positioned transverse to a first face side. The cure composite part includes a first ply has fibers and a second ply has fibers wherein the first ply and the second ply are positioned in overlying relationship to one another. At least a portion of the fibers of the first ply are positioned in angular relationship with at least a portion of the fibers of the second ply. The at least two spaced apart particles are associated with the second ply. Further included is a step of removing at least a portion of the first ply and taking a second image of the at least two spaced apart particles.

    Abstract: A method to utilize the results from a series of FEM models to develop a master derivative of compliance curve. The use of the unique master curve resolves the test data variability issue caused by fitting the compliance curve individually. The analytically derived derivative of compliance curve eliminates the needs to take the derivative of compliance and therefore the derivative computation error no longer exists. By applying the existing solution and the solution as disclosed and claimed herein to the same set of the raw test data, it is found that data scatter is significantly reduced.

    Abstract: A tension load fixture for applying tension or loading forces to a specimen comprises a pair of tension arms and an imaging device. The pair of tension arms are configured to releasably couple to opposite end regions of a specimen and to apply tension or loading forces to the specimen. The specimen is configured to be positioned between the pair of tension arms and defines a notch between the opposite end regions of the specimen. The notch extends from a side of the specimen to a middle region of the specimen. The imaging device is configured to capture one or more images of the middle region of the specimen and is configured to rotate about a central axis of the tension load fixture that is proximate to the middle region of the specimen to facilitate generation of a three-dimensional image of the middle region of the specimen as the specimen is subjected to tension or loading forces.
