Digital Image Correlation during Fatigue Testing

🔍 Revealing Strain and Stress with Digital Image Correlation (DIC) During #MetalAM Fatigue Testing 🌟🛠️ #MaterialsMonday

Our cutting-edge fatigue testing setup, compliant with DIN 50142, offers rapid cycle testing up to 50 Hz—transforming a full S-N curve analysis into a six-week endeavor 🕒📊
Tailored specifically for the intricate needs of thin-walled AM parts, our system expertly handles alternating bending stresses that are critical in today’s manufacturing challenges 🔧🔄
Coupled with our seamless integration of 3D printing and CNC machining, we deliver comprehensive evaluations at a price that redefines value in advanced material testing 💪💲

In a pioneering effort, we teamed up with LIMESS / Ralf Lichtenberger to harness the power of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) at our testing facility. Our latest investigation utilized the Q400 3D-DIC system to meticulously measure the strain and stress levels on specimens during fatigue tests 📊👀

DIC technology allows us to visually capture and analyze how materials behave under repeated stress, offering a window into the micro-dynamics of strain distribution. Plus, the DIC system excels in detecting micro-cracks and monitoring crack growth with pinpoint accuracy. This cutting-edge approach tracks surface speckle patterns to provide precise 3D insights into how materials deform over time 🧐📈

Why does this matter? By quantifying strain and stress with exceptional accuracy, we enhance the predictability of material failure and refine the design and durability of components across industries 🏗️💡

The DIC setup, with its dual high-resolution cameras and sophisticated calibration, delivers unmatched detail, ensuring that every measurement contributes to a deeper understanding of material science.
