Abstrakt: Fiber-reinforced polymer composite structures are frequently used in industries where personal safety is critical; therefore, it is important to periodically estimate or monitor the condition of high value, load bearing structures. The digital image correlation (DIC) is well known as an effective method to obtain full field surface strains; in this paper, it was used to detect artificial damage inside the structures. Carbon or glass fabric reinforced epoxy specimens were produced and tested. All specimens contained an artificial through-delamination which was created by the insertion of different foils of a mould release agent during production. Tensile and compression tests were done while the camera system collected the images of the deformed surface to be analyzed posteriorly. In most cases the approximate locations of delaminations could be effectively detected from strain maps by the localization of zones showing different strain values than intact zones.
