A video extensometer is a non-contact strain measurement device based on DIC, used to measure material strain during tensile testing. Compared with traditional mechanical extensometers, it offers advantages such as high precision, long measurement range and no specimen contact in metal tensile testing.

Impact testing is a key experiment for evaluating material or structural response under rapid loads, widely used in aerospace, automotive and protective equipment. In traditional impact tests, sensors such as strain gauges and accelerometers usually measure only local stress and strain, while DIC provides full-field, r...

The core principle of DIC is to measure the deformation and displacement of objects through image comparison. The technique requires applying random black-and-white dots on the object surface to form a specific texture for subsequent image processing. The workflow includes image acquisition, feature recognition, displa...
