Abstract

The development of a new experimental method is required to easily observe the growth behavior of fatigue cracks. To satisfy the requirement, an image processing technique was introduced to fatigue testing. The length of surface fatigue crack could be successfully measured by the image processing system. At first, the image data of cracks were stored into the computer while the cyclic loading was interrupted. After testing, crack length was determined using an image processing software which was developed by authors. Various image processing techniques like a block matching method was applied tc the detection of surface fatigue cracks. By comparing the data measured by the image processing system with those by the manual measurement with a microscope, the effectiveness of the image processing system was established. If the proposed method is used to monitor and observe the crack growth behavior automatically, the time and efforts for fatigue test could be dramatically reduced.

피로균열 성장거동 관찰을 위한 새로운 실험 방법의 개발이 필요하다. 이러한 요구를 만족시키기 위해서 본 연구에서는 영상처리기법을 피로시험에 도입하였으며, 영상처리시스템을 이용하여 표면피로균열길이를 측정하였다. 먼저 주기적으로 시험하중을 멈추는 동안 균열영상 데이터를 컴퓨터에 저장시켰다. 시험이 끝난 후에는 본 연구진에서 개발한 영상처리 소프트웨어를 사용하여 균열길이를 측정하였으며, 이를 위하여 블록매칭방법을 포함한 다양한 영상처리 기법을 적용하였다. 영상처리시스템으로 측정한 데이터와 현미경을 이용하여 수동으로 측정한 데이터를 비교하여 영상처리시스템의 유효성을 검증하였다. 만약 본 연구에서 제안한 방법을 균열성장거동을 자동적으로 관찰하거나 모니터 하는데 사용한다면 피로시험에 소요되는 시간과 노동력을 현격히 줄일 수 있다.
