Technical functionality: selection of the measurement mesh
By Clara Minguet and Lucas Angénieux, Research engineers at EikoSim On EikoTwin DIC, the measurements are directly expressed on the simulation mesh. In order to choose which areas of interest for the test are visible to the camera(s), the so-called measurement mesh must first be selected. Indeed, this mesh will be the one where the…
Preparation of your Digital Image Correlation test with Blender
By Clara Minguet, Research engineer at EikoSim This article invites you to care about an unexpected topic: the preparation of a digital image correlation test with Blender. While research articles do not always mention this aspect of digital image correlation measurements, test preparation is a crucial step in the procedure. The aim is to ensure…
Simulation validation with EikoTwin DIC
By Florent Mathieu, Ceo of EikoSim Simulation validation with EikoTwin DIC rely heavily on image processing. Image analysis methods provide full-field test data, that can be used to validate and improve your simulation. Using the unique method of “Model-Based testing”, EikoTwin DIC allows to measure displacements and strains of the observed parts directly on the simulation…
Measurement errors and digital image correlation
By Pierre Baudoin, R&D engineer at EikoSim When conducting a test campaign instrumented by digital image correlation, it must be possible to determine the characteristic measurement error for the quantities of interest studied (measured displacement or strain). This analysis is essential to know whether the measurement made is indeed the desired “signal” and not the…
What are good Digital Image Correlation test practices?
By Floriane Soulas, R&D engineer at EikoSim Importance of a good implementation of digital image correlation tests When performing a test by using Digital Image Correlation (DIC), many parameters must be taken into account: brightness, speckle pattern, camera placement. All these steps are essential to achieve the best possible images, in order to get the maximum…
