High-Speed Stereomicroscope Digital Image Correlation of Rupture Disc Behavior

Abstract

Three-dimensional deformation of rupture discs subjected to gas-dynamic shock loading was measured using a stereomicroscope digital image correlation (DIC) system. One-dimensional blast waves generated with a small-diameter, explosively driven shock tube were used for studying the fluid-structure interactions that exist when incident onto relatively low-strength rupture discs. Prior experiments have shown that subjecting the 0.64-cm-diameter, stainless steel rupture discs to shock waves of varying strength results in a range of responses from no rupture to shear at the outer weld diameter. In this work, the outer surface of the rupture discs were prepared for DIC using 100–150 μm-sized speckles and illuminated with a Xenon flashlamp. Two synchronized Shimadzu HPV-2 cameras coupled to an Olympus microscope captured stereo-image sequences of rupture disc behavior at speeds of 1 MHz. Image correlation performed on the stereo-images resulted in spatially resolved surface deformation. The experimental facility, specifics of the DIC diagnostic technique, and the temporal deformation and velocity of the surface of a rupturing disc are presented.
