• In-Person

This seminar will answer questions such as the following:

• What is digital image correlation (DIC), and how would it be useful to my company?
• What equipment would I need to use this technology?
• How does this technology compare to traditional methods for measuring strain, such as using strain gages?
• Can I use DIC for dynamic applications, and if so, what is the frequency range over which it would be applicable?

This free event will start with a presentation on the basic principles of DIC. To supplement the lectures, there will be live demonstrations of the Simcenter Testlab software for DIC processing and analysis on a sample structure. Morning refreshments and lunch will be provided.

Disclaimer: The intent of this seminar is to provide information to those interested in learning the basics of digital image correlation and how it can be applied in engineering development. The seminar will have an interactive attendee theme and will be supplemented with live demonstrations using a DIC test setup. It is not intended to be a comprehensive or in-depth course on the details of DIC. For that purpose, there is an upcoming five-day course offered by our DIC partner MatchID.
