E-Leader Singapore 2010 A Stereo Machine Vision System for measuring three- dimensional crack-tip displacements when it is subjected to elastic-plastic deformation Arash Karpour and Dr. Khosrow Zarrabi The School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering The University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia Abstract This paper describes a Stereo Machine Vision System (SMVS) for measuring three-dimensional displacements at discrete points on the surface of an object. At the University of New South Wales (UNSW), the need for such a system has been generated for measuring the crack-tip displacements of elastic-plastic cracked components that are subjected to the mix-modes I, II and III loading. Being a non-contacting optical system, the SMVS naturally lends itself to measuring in-plane and out-of-plane displacement components, simultaneously at the points of interest, when the specimen is subjected to various degrees of mixed-mode loading. The SMVS described in this paper measures three-dimensional displacement components at the desired points on the object surface using the triangulation method. An automatic calibration method has been developed based on intrinsic and extrinsic parameters. To measure the three dimensional displacement components along the crack flank of a cracked specimen under simultaneous in and out-of-plane (i.e., mixed modes I, II and III) loading using a universal testing machine, a pair of grips have specially been designed; for which the
