A New In Situ Planar Biaxial Far-Field High Energy Diffraction Microscopy Experiment

Part of the Conference Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Mechanics Series book series (CPSEMS)

Abstract

A new experimental platform that combines far-field high-energy diffraction microscopy (HEDM) and in situ planar biaxial loading is presented. The HEDM X-ray diffraction technique, which allows for non-destructive 3D microstructure measurements via serial reconstructions of 2D diffraction patterns, is briefly reviewed. Design attributes of a custom planar biaxial load frame and a new cruciform sample geometry for in situ HEDM experimentation are presented in detail. During the HEDM measurements, this new planar biaxial platform is capable of arbitrary combinations of tension and compression loading for studying full plane stress yield loci while localized gage stresses up to 1.8 GPa are generated with minimal influence from the cruciform geometry stress concentrations. The combination of these experimental capabilities demonstrates an ability to solve a long-standing problem of planar biaxial experimentation on nonlinear materials with unknown constitutive relations: how to measure the gage stress. Finite element results for isotropic elasticity are compared with classical plane stress analysis and digital image correlation (DIC) measurements, and all were found to be in good agreement.
