Description
Summary:The mechanical response and the failure mode of thin metal foils under tensile load has been analyzed supplementing the usual test records with full-field measurements performed by three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D DIC) techniques. The experiments have been simulated by finite element models formulated within a non-linear continuum framework. The study presented in this contribution concerns symmetrically pre-cracked aluminum samples. The wrinkling of the specimens during the test and the possible and alternative failure mechanisms are evidenced and discussed.
