What is a good dic speckle pattern?

By Team Eikosim | 19 March 2020

Concerned about making a new speckle pattern for your DIC experiment? In another article, we talked about the different techniques for creating a speckle pattern in digital image correlation, including the ability to vary the size and nature of the spots projected on the piece. But what size should your speckle pattern be? There is…

Understanding and controlling the sources of discrepancy between tests and simulations

By Team Eikosim | 1 March 2019

Adjustment and validation of simulations Simulation is crucial in the development, approval, and certification of industrial products and services. It is the foundation for strategic business decisions and projects, making experimental testing even more significant. Testing and output of measured results used to be a mere requirement for compliance demonstration, but now it serves as…

Digital Image Correlation, how to choose your acquisition hardware?

By Team Eikosim | 5 October 2018

We have already seen together the principles of digital image correlation and the contributions of such measures. Today we will see how to choose its acquisition hardware so that it is adapted to the different use cases encountered. Image acquisition equipment means the cameras of course, but also the lenses, the lights, the mounting brackets…

Digital image correlation: The contribution of the global method

By Team Eikosim | 17 August 2018

Why a “global” method? Digital image correlation consists in measuring a displacement field between a reference configuration and a deformed configuration. There are two large families of algorithms to make this measurement: In the general case, the displacement field u(x) can be decomposed as a sum of functions of form Nm : where vα,m are…
