Optical and image-based methods for displacement and velocity field measurement

Ultrasonic methods

Measurement of force interaction (force transducers, pressure transducers, manometers)

Measurement of residual strain

Concepts of tensile tests

Inflation-extension tests (tubes, membranes)

In vivo measurement

Statistical concepts

Inferential statistics and hypothesis testing

Regression analysis
