Abstract
In a previous study, to minimize or eliminate the errors and noises associated with a full-field experimental measurement and subsequent fringe analysis such as moiré interferometry, the authors derived a variational principle minimizing the experimental measurement errors. Furthemore, on the basis of this variational principle, the authors developed an intelligent hybrid method. In several test simulations, the method has demonstrated the automatic detection and elimination of randomly incorporated errors into known correct finite element displacement fields. In this study, a fringe analysis method is developed together with the two-dimensional fast Fourier transform method. Then, experimentally recorded moiré fringe patterns are analyzed by the fringe analysis method. The conventional and intelligent hybrid analyses are carried out using the analyzed fringe information as input data. The present method verifies the automatic detection of experimental errors and noises, and the simultaneous automatic elimination of those experimental errors. This method also makes it possible to obtain a fairly smooth visualization of higher order information such as the stress and strain distributions.
