Identification of the local stiffness reduction of a damaged composite plate using the virtual fields method by Kim, J.-H., Pierron, F., Wisnom, M. R., Kashif, Syed Muhammad

“…Full-field heterogeneous curvature fields obtained from an optical deflectometry technique are processed by using the virtual fields method adapted to retrieve the 2D stiffness distribution map of a damaged carbon-epoxy plate. The method not only picks up the location of the damage but also provides a fairly good estimate of the stiffness reduction in the damaged area. …”
