Digital Image Correlation in Materials Testing

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a non-contact measurement technique for visualizing deformations and strains under load. Applicable to nearly all material classes, it is used in material characterization, quality control, and test monitoring. This seminar covers the theory and practical use of DIC in mechanical testing and provides guidelines for accurate measurements in standard lab settings—offering deeper insights than traditional point-based methods.

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) provides the unique ability to visualize deformation and strain over large areas of structural materials, enabling a critical understanding of material behavior under various loading conditions.
Here are the key reasons why this course will benefit your company:

DIC Fundamentals: Understand the basic principles of DIC, including setup, pattern application, and parameter selection for accurate measurements.
Practical Insights: Explore practical aspects, such as preparation of specimens, design of DIC measurements, and data reduction methodologies.
Mechanical Tests: Learn how to use DIC for a variety of ASTM, ISO and DIN standardized mechanical tests (tensile, shear, flexure, and fracture) under common loading conditions.
Measurement Precision: Understand the precision and uncertainty of DIC, the factors affecting it, and how to improve the reliability of your test results.
Quality Control: Use DIC in quality control to detect manufacturing defects or material inconsistencies.
Interdisciplinary Understanding: Connect experiments and mechanical models by visualizing DIC results.
Practical Exercises and Applications: Expand your knowledge with practical examples and exercises, as well as multiple application cases.
Discuss your specific real-world application/problem with experts.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
