THE EXPERT RESEARCH OF THE NATURE OF DESTRUCTION OF STEEL PARTS AND STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS USING COMPUTER MODELING
The article focuses on the research concerning the expediency and effectiveness of using digital three-dimensional images of fracture surfaces. These images were obtained with the help of a 3D scanner to define the type of fractures and determining their occurrence factors providing a high precision and reliability level. Scanner is based on photogrammetric method. This method allows to reproduce complex geometry, sharp and thin edges and to export 3D model to the CAD software in various formats. This universal approach recognizes patterns and mathematical 3D scanner image analysis. It makes possible to solve a wide range of tasks in the direction of a quantitative fracture description with high precision of the original object.
