Digital Image Correlation for Strain Mapping
DIC is used to measure the strain on the surface of a mechanical test specimen without the hassle and limitations of strain gauges. DIC can be applied much quicker than strain gauges for a fraction of the cost.
Being purely predictive, physical full vehicle or front-end structural impact tests only need to happen once, rather than multiple costly tests to correlate the model and optimize the design. Contact Engenuity to speed up your development process, reduce costs and develop lighter and safer crash structures.
