Large-Scale, Multi-System DIC Down Under

Correlated Solutions and Blink Technology Australia recently assisted Kevin Nievaart and his team at Swinburne University of Technology to successfully deploy the multi-system digital image correlation registration procedure which combines data from two or more VIC-3D DIC systems. This procedure provides a common coordinate system without any overlapping requirements and can dramatically reduce the effort and time needed to interpret and analyze deformation data. Ultimately, streamlining workflows with VIC-3D boosts the performance and research efficiency of the Smart Structures Lab. Special thanks to Kevin and his team for all the hard work!

Thermal Marking for Biomechanical Speckling

Interesting research was presented recently describing an alternative speckling technique for digital image correlation. In this work, a new methodology featuring thermal marking is deployed to carry out mechanical analysis and obtain deformation and displacement data using VIC-3D. It's early days for this research, but it shows a great deal of promise for biomechanical applications, and we're excited to see where it goes in the future.

Fast, Protective, Warm, Beautiful - Developing High-Tech Fabric for the Winter Olympics with DIC

To prepare for the Beijing Winter Olympics (February 4th-20th), a research team led by Professor Liu Li, Director of the National Winter Sports Apparel Equipment R&D Center and Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, undertook a special R&D project to develop cutting-edge, high-performance, competition apparel for the Chinese Winter Olympic Team. Professor Liu Li and her team of engineers understood that each component of sportswear must adapt to the movement of the body, and they describe the relationship between the structure of clothing and the needs of the human body like the relationship between serving and being served. Therefore, an understanding of the structural design of the moving parts of the body is particularly important in the design and production of competition clothing.
