The challenge

Dynamic materials tests (impact, Hopkinson bar, fracture) take place in microseconds and require stable images, with high resolution and low noise, so that the DIC software can extract reliable strain.

What the camera needs to deliver

  • 4.2 Mpx

    with QE up to 88.7%

    KT1240 and T4040 for dense strain maps.

  • Stereo

    two synchronized cameras

    3D DIC with a shared trigger.

  • Integration

    with DIC software

    Vision Research partnership with image correlation tools.

How to plan your test in 5 steps

  1. Define the test

    Quasi-static or dynamic; 2D or 3D.

  2. Prepare the pattern

    A speckle pattern suited to the camera resolution.

  3. Calibrate

    Calibration targets and camera alignment.

  4. Synchronize with the machine

    Trigger from the testing machine and load recording.

  5. Correlate

    DIC software reading the .cine files.

Frequently asked questions

What resolution do I need for DIC?

The higher the resolution, the lower the uncertainty. 4.2 Mpx is the starting point for medium-sized specimens.
