Synopsis:

The students will be introduced to the method of digital image correlation (DIC) and its use in experimental mechanics. Hardware requirements will be discussed along with the introduction of essential algorithms and post-processing of results. The students will be actively engaged in experimental measurements and processing of results. Those interested in programming will be involved in development of open-source DIC codes. Besides DIC, the students will be introduced to numerical modeling in order to comprehend the meaning of the experimentally obtained data and become able to analyze them critically. The introduction of high-speed cameras and their use in experimental mechanics is also within the scope of the subject.
