Crash-test and image correlation: how to measure seat deformations and follow the dummy’s movements

By Team Eikosim | 26 April 2023

Crash-tests are a crucial step in the development and certification of products, especially for the automotive, aeronautical and railway industries. These tests simulate collision or impact scenarios in order to evaluate the resistance and safety of products. Among the equipment used to perform these tests is the reverse catapult, which is a device that projects…

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) for vibration analysis

By Team Eikosim | 29 November 2022

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…

Digital image correlation for automotive structures

By Team Eikosim | 8 October 2021

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…

Detection monitoring of cracks with Digital Image Correlation: a choice tool

By Team Eikosim | 19 December 2019

By Floriane Soulas, R&D engineer at EikoSim Context Some structures have a long service life from commissioning to replacement. These structures, when they have a fundamental role, must be able to maintain their physical integrity throughout their service life. To do this, it is essential to ensure their reliability over time. In the case of such…
