Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a 2D or 3D (stereo-DIC) optical method that allows for the measurement of the displacement field between two camera images. These images contain a speckle pattern that is disposed (painted, deposited, etched,…) on the surface of the specimen that will be studied.
It is usually ma...

Digital Image Correlation
Digital Image Correlation (DIC) techniques aim at measuring the displacement of a surface out of 2D or 3D1 consecutive images of a deforming surface. DIC methods rely on image tracking and registration methods to track the movement of various areas of the image. The following example, from...

First phase of the project
The first phase of this project was carried out by Bénédicte Bonnet (now a happy Msc in biomedical engineering) and mainly aimed at developing an experimental setup that can be used to quantify and better understand the presence of air leaks in lungs after resection. The study was supervi...

“Complex” (composite) materials
The profitability of the aerospace, automotive, energy and many other industries is strongly linked to a reduction in the energy footprint and mass of the structures involved, while maintaining a similar level of performance and safety. To achieve these objectives, composite material...
