Springer International Digital Imaging Correlation Society: Proceedings of the First Annual Conference, 2016 (Conference Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Mechanics Series)

Product Description This collection represents a single volume of technical papers presented at the Annual International DIC Society Conference and SEM Fall Conference organized by the Society for Experimental Mechanics and Sandia National Laboratories and held in Philadelphia, PA, November 7-10, 2016. The volume presents early findings from experimental, standards development and various other investigations concerning digital image correlation - an important area within Experimental Mechanics. The area of Digital Image Correlation has been an integral track within the SEM Annual Conference spearheaded by Professor Michael Sutton from the University of South Carolina. In 2016, the SEM and Sandia joined their collaborative strengths to launch a standing fall meeting focusing specifically on developments in the area of Digital Image Correlation. The contributed papers within this volume span numerous technical aspects of DIC including standards development for the industry.  About the Author Dr. Michael Sutton is Carolina Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina. His research and interests include coherent and incoherent optics applications, experimental mechanics, digital image processing, Computer Vision, applications of integral methods and experimental mechanics, boundary valve problems, plastic fracture mechanics, finite elements modeling of cracked bodies. Dr. Phillip Reu is a Senior Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories. His research involves the applications of full-field measurements since 2003, focusing on both coherent measurement systems and image correlation. He holds a PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
