DIC at Extremes
Dr. Calvin Stewart and his team at The Ohio State University are working at the extremes. In 2021, Dr. Stewart founded the Materials at Extremes Lab (MATX) and began to assemble the tools and personnel he needed to push the boundaries of “advanced manufacturing, mechanical testing, and theoretical mechanics of materials subject to thermal, mechanical, and chemical extremes.”
Level 1 DIC Certification Success
We are proud to announce that two members of the Correlated Solutions Support Team recently received Level 1 DIC certification from iDICs, the International Digital Image Correlation Society.
From the inception of DIC at the University of South Carolina more than 25 years ago, the founders of Correlated Solutions have supported the effort to advance the practice of DIC around the world, and part of this effort involved helping to organize the International Digital Image Correlation Society (iDICs). In the years since, an important mission of iDICs was the standardization of DIC practice and the development of the Good Practices Guide for DIC and other training and educational opportunities. Recognizing the need to have trained and vetted DIC practitioners, iDICs has recently implemented the DIC Certification Program where industrial and research institutions can send their personnel to become certified DIC practitioners. Congratulations to Ian Adkins and Nick Lovaas (shown here in the field during trainings with VIC-3D) for all their hard work.
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!
High-Speed Digital Imaging Techniques for Blast and Impact Measurement
We were excited to return this week to the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC) at New Mexico Tech to participate in a unique training course focused on optical diagnostics for high-speed explosion and impact events. This test demonstrated the fundamentals of 3D digital image correlation using the VIC-3D DIC software in conjunction with high-speed Photron Nova S16 cameras imaging a low velocity impact event to measure 3D displacements. We’re already looking forward to next year!
