Methodology for Digital Image Correlation and Infrared Measurement of Melting Aluminum Bars

Ultimately, our experiment measures two quantities on an aluminum bar: motion (which modeling must predict) and temperature (which sets thermal boundary conditions). For motion, stereo DIC is a technique to use imaging data to provide displacements relative to a reference image down to 1/100th of a pixel. We use a calibrated infrared imaging method for accurate temperature measurements. We will be capturing simultaneous data and then registering temperature data in space to the same coordinate system as the displacement data. While we will later show that our experiments are repeatable, indicating that separate experiments for motion and temperature would provide similar data, the simultaneous and registered data removes test to test variability as a source of uncertainty for model calibration and reduces the number of time-consuming tests that must be performed.
