METHODS AND APPLICATIONS OF DIGITAL IMAGE CORRELATION

Catalog description

Explores methods and applications of digital image correlation in solid mechanics and materials science in depth. Examines selection, configuration, and calibration of optical systems for high-precision stereo (3D) imaging as well as theoretical context for and computational implementation of data processing workflows from raw images to mechanical stress. Uses digital image correlation data for quantitative validation of analytical and numerical (FEA) mechanics models, and characterization of failure and fracture mechanisms. Discusses nonlinear optimization methods for material property and boundary condition identification.
