Determining Forming limit curves using DIC KEYWORDS TEST SET-UP OUTPUT Specimens and Measurement setup Before measurement, a set of metallic sheet specimens made from DR 520 CA with a nominal thickness of 0.2 mm wasprepared. The aim was to generate various stress states during the Nakajima-type forming test. To achieve this,geometrically distinct specimens were designed […]

BIOMECHANICS: UNIAXIAL TENSILE TEST OF TENDON KEYWORDS TEST SET-UP OUTPUT WHY CHOOSE X-SIGHT? MEASUREMENT PROCESS AND TOOLS The pig tendon specimen was loaded by cyclic force. The Line probe was used to measure strain or length change in the specified direction. Intelligent features allow for precise setup of gauge length and aligning the Line probe

Analysis of Spruce wood Deformation During Compression Testing KEYWORDS TEST SET-UP OUTPUT Inspection and evaluation It was observed that wood exhibits anisotropic behaviour, deforming differently along various directions. To accurately capture local deformations, the evaluation region in the 3D video extensometer with post-processing software was configured so that two sides of the specimen are visible.

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

UNIAXIAL TENSILE TEST OF POLYMER MATERIAL SPECIMEN KEYWORDS TEST SET-UP OUTPUT WHY CHOOSE X-SIGHT? MEASUREMENT PROCESS AND TOOLS LINE PROBE A basic probe for measuring strain and length. Measured values: EXTREME LINE PROBE An advanced probe for axial neck detection. The Extreme Line enhances the Line Probefunctionality by adding the axial neck detectingfeature. The Extreme

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,

HIGH SPEED SHOCK TESTING OF AERODYNAMIC JOURNAL BEARINGS KEYWORDS TEST SET-UP OUTPUT WHY CHOOSE X-SIGHT? TOOLS AND RESULTS First of all, the behavior of the segment was studied in the global view using the Bend Line tool, offering a representation of the movement of individual points by means of arrows that can be enlarged for

3D DIC MEASUREMENT: CONCRETE STIFFENING KEYWORDS TEST SET-UP OUTPUT WHY CHOOSE X-SIGHT? MEASUREMENT PROCESS AND TOOLS POINT PROBE The Point probe tracks the movement of a single position on the specimen in the specified directions. DIC AREA A full-field tool mapping displacement and strain distribution over a user-defined area. During the concrete solidification process shown

THREE-POINT FLEXURAL TEST OF POLYMER SPECIMEN KEYWORDS TEST SET-UP OUTPUT WHY CHOOSE X-SIGHT? MEASUREMENT PROCESS AND TOOLS LINE PROBE An elementary measuring probe for strain and length determination. Intelligent features allow for precise setup of gauge length and aligning the line probe according to the direction of a selected axis. MEASUREMENT EVALUATION The force-deflection curve
