3D PRINTER HEAT BED DEFORMATION KEYWORDS TEST SET-UP OUTPUT MEASUREMENT The picture above shows an infrared camera during the measurement. Once the IR camera and Alpha DIC software, a crucial component of our measurement setup, were connected and the systems were calibrated, the test could begin. The DIC camera and the Alpha DIC software played […]

STRAIN DISTRIBUTION ON A CURVED BEAM: DIC VS. FEM KEYWORDS TEST SET-UP OUTPUT WHY CHOOSE X-SIGHT? TOOLS, POSTPROCESSING AND RESULTS The DIC Area tool was used at the location with the highest bending moment to capture the full-field axial strain distribution. In addition, a FEM calculation was performed with boundary conditions that faithfully represent the

STRAIN CONCENTRATION ON A NOTCHED SAMPLE: DIC VS. FEM KEYWORDS TEST SET-UP OUTPUT WHY CHOOSE X-SIGHT? TOOLS, POSTPROCESSING AND RESULTS The DIC area tool was used in the area surrounding the notch, where the strain field deviates from the homogeneous strain in the rest of the sample. The full-field axial strain distribution was captured. Additionally,
