Experiment

DefleX-2D
An entry-level digital image correlation (DIC) system to teach students how to measure and visualise surface deformations, strains and displacements in materials and shapes.

DefleX-3D
An integrated digital image correlation system for measuring full-field displacements and strains over a material’s surface in three dimensions.
DefleX-3D is ideal for material science, structural engineering and general mechanical engineering courses.
