Olympic Equipment Meets Digital Image Correlation

As the world’s Olympic attention shifts from Tokyo to Paris, everyone at Correlated Solutions would like to look back and congratulate all the athletes from around the world who made this year’s games so memorable. In their honor, the engineers in our headquarters (Columbia, SC) collaborated with our friends at Photron to perform high-speed strain and deformation testing on Olympics-themed sporting equipment with Fastcam Nova S-16 cameras. The industry-leading VIC-3D digital image correlation system, backed up with the built-in data visualization from iris, allows a unique glimpse into the material characteristics of this equipment.
