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.

The DefleX®-2D edition offers a student-friendly solution for visualising optical deformation measurements on various object sizes. It is equipped with camera measurement and image processing software for analysing motions, displacements and strains. It can measure visible features on objects and material surfaces like screws, joints, edges, grooves and composite structures. This is accomplished with the aid of a speckled pattern applied to the relevant parts of the target surface area. Instructions for applying the pattern are given in the user guide.

A bench mounting apparatus to allow students to investigate the deflections of unsymmetrical cantilevers.

A bench top frame with load cells and cantilevers for the study of deflection and forces on different types of beams for a wide range of supports and loads; also demonstrates Young's modulus.

Shows the various modes of buckling (elastic collapse or crippling) of slender compression members.

Either an annual or multi-year technical enhancement package up to five years.

A steel beam with eight half-bridge strain gauges spaced from the centre line, for the examination of strain at different points along a beam for both simply supported and cantilever experiments.
