Digital Image Correlation (DIC) for vibration analysis
Digital Image Correlation (or DIC) is well-known for its static applications, but under the right circumstances, it is equally applicable to vibration testing. Here is as industrial example at Safran. As part of the development of increasingly high-performance aircraft actuators, Safran Landing Systems (SLS) must ensure the integrity of its systems during commissioning. With this…
How ArianeGroup improves simulation credibility with EikoTwin and DIC
Simulation credibility is a key aspect of the Virtual Testing concept. As the European leader in space launchers, Ariane Group participates with EikoSim in multiple Research and Development projects, including a RAPID R&D project (“MUTATION”) funded by the Direction Générale de l’Armement. This project aims at developing an industrial platform for test-simulation dialogue to meet…
Mechanical regularization in EikoTwin DIC
In EikoTwin DIC, the calculation of displacement fields is performed on the simulation mesh. However, as this mathematical problem is by nature ill-posed, there is a mechanical regularization parameter that allows the user to add mechanical conditions to the field measurements. Contrary to most digital image correlation software, at EikoSim we have chosen to use…
Digital image correlation for crack measurement
In the context of crack propagation tests on composite material, EikoTwin image correlation solutions were used to meet a customer need. A post-processing script, exploiting the measurement data from EikoTwin DIC, was developed by EikoSim to bring satisfaction to the customer with a tailor-made solution. This work is part of Paul Nicolino’s engineering internship at…
Digital image correlation for automotive structures
By Floriane Soulas, R&D Engineer at EikoSim Context In the context of monitoring large-scale production automotive parts, many parts are subjected to repeated tests to ensure their integrity once they are put into service. Thus, the test that we address in this paper is dedicated to the “gust of wind” tests of an opening structure (see…
Thermal plugins from the EikoTwin suite
By Clara Minguet, Research engineer at EikoSim In order to meet the specific needs of customers and to extend the use of the EikoTwin software suite to other fields of activity, EikoSim has developed two new optional plugins: the DIC and DT thermal plugins. As their names suggest, DIC thermal plugin can be used in…
EikoTwin DIC and the measurement of small strains
By Lucas Angénieux, Research engineer at EikoSim Innovation in the automotive industry Innovation is at the heart of the automotive industry: autonomous vehicles, shared mobility, advanced equipment, etc. In order to reinvent themselves and remain competitive, it is necessary for automotive industries to innovate and develop new technologies. It is therefore essential for these companies…
The Batch mode: a new EikoTwin DIC plugin
By Clara Minguet, Research engineer at EikoSim In order to continuously improve the features offered by EikoTwin DIC software, EikoSim has developed a new optional plugin: the Batch mode. It enables to launch, through a configuration file prepared beforehand, the pre-calibration, calibration and displacement measurement for several EikoTwin DIC projects in EKT format. This partial…
