Fracture mechanics XTDIC system is also an ideal solution for fracture mechanics investigation. The full-field measurement deliver exact information about local and global strain distribution, crack growth, and can be used for the determination of important fracture mechanics parameters.
Fracture growth image
Large measuring volume application The measuring area of XTDIC can vary from several mm2 to several m2. For large measuring area situation, the spray stencil is used to create the point pattern.
Spray stencil Specimen with created point pattern Experiment setup Measured result Application of XTDIC in civil engineering The deformation and flow characteristic of sand is a research focus in civil engineering, however can¡¯t be measured easily using traditional method. XTDIC which is a non-contacting optical system is ideal for the investigation of sand characteristics. Technical data
