Restoring Faith in What We Build
One of the challenges America faces is a growing perception that it is difficult to build innovative, durable products that people interact with. One only needs to look around at automotive recalls, infrastructure failures, or aerospace mishaps to understand the importance of good testing and manufacturing processes. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is an essential tool to improve testing and restore public faith in manufacturing.
What is DIC? Digital Image Correlation is a non-contact optical method that can measure strain and displacement of an object. By capturing a series of images before, during, and after loading and analyzing the changes of the object, DIC provides detailed quantitative data about the object in various conditions.
