DIC Images and Data of In-Plane Cyclic Testing of a 3D-Woven Layer-to-Layer Angle Interlock Composite

Data behind the publications:

C. Oddy, M. Song, C. Stewart, B. El Said, M. Ekh, S. Hallett and Martin Fagerström: On and Off-Axis Cyclic Behaviour of 3D-Woven Composites: Experimental Testing and Macroscale Modelling. Submitted for international publication.

For each test sample orientation and excel file is provided. This includes the machinedata giving the time, machine displacement and force. On another sheet, informationfrom the DIC analysis is given, including the time and force signal organised accordingto the image frame number. The DIC images are also provided.

The testing was carried out using a serial camera DIC system. However, as part of this publication, the images have only been provided from one of the camera systems. They have also been exported at a lower image quality than the original analysis. The authors' can recommend the use of open source DIC software, for example DICe (https://github.com/dicengine/dice), to carry out any type of further image processing. Processing the stereo image as a 2D analysis at a lower image quality may lead to some deviations in the extracted strain or displacement fields. The authors however have compared the results and have not seen any notable inconsistencies. We hope that these images can be useful to you in your own research endeavours!
