Deformation measurements of blast loaded plates using digital image correlation and high-speed photography

This paper presents a study on the behaviour of aluminium plates subject to close range blast loads. Measurement of the full out-of-plane displacement field is performed combining two high-speed cameras in a stereoscopic set up and the digital image correlation technique. The measured displacement fields are compared to the calculated data using two different FEM codes. A good agreement has been found between both experimental and numerical data
