Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and surface micro patterned stamp for patterning image correlation test specimens is disclosed. The stamp may be formed and applied to the surface of structural components and laboratory test specimens in a repeatable fashion while reducing requisite infrastructure and time. The resulting test specimen incorporating the surface micro stamped pattern is also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method of patterning image correlation specimens comprising the steps of: providing a surface micro patterned stamp having a designated pattern thereon, wherein the designated pattern includes microfeatures; providing a specimen; depositing a patterning material onto the specimen; engaging the surface micro patterned stamp with the specimen so that the patterning material replicates the designated pattern on the specimen, wherein patterning material is consist…
