The course presents the underlying principle adjacent to the digital image correlation (DIC) technique. During the course the algorithms and intrinsic parameters in the implementation of the DIC technique will be presented. To know how to quantify the measurement uncertainty in a mechanical test, the main error sources linked with the DIC measurements will be identified. Furthermore, to carry out feasible measurements, emphasis to rules and standards for good practice on the DIC technique implementation will be discussed during the course.
Learn how to choose the appropriate camera-lens optical system for a specific mechanical test.
Know how to define the speckle pattern suitable to the scale of observation and optical system in use.
Have a critical analysis on selecting the DIC setting parameters, with regard to test.
Implement a full DIC analysis using a open-source software.
Interpret results obtained by DIC in view of the reconstructed full-field displacements and strains.
The introductory course on DIC is intended for researchers interested in deepening their knowledge on the principle and practical use of this imaging technique for measuring full-field deformation of materials and structures.
Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at NOVA School of Science and Technology. He is also an integrated researcher at UNIDEMI, within which he has been promoting optical techniques in experimental mechanics. He has a vast number of scientific publications in the field of optical methods with diverse applications to engineering problems.
PhD candidate at the Fluminense Federal University – UFF, Brazil. As part of his thesis work, he developed from scratch a python-based digital image correlation program available as open- source, which will be presented and used in the course.
The courses will be held online on June 23, 2022 from 4:30PM to 8:00PM.
