A comprehensive set of tools and ink to easily apply an effective speckle pattern to a range of surfaces for use with the DefleX® DIC systems. 

A simple system for introducing students to the concept of digital image correlation (DIC)

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.

From theory to reality - Seeing in microscopic detail

Combining theory, hands-on experimentation, visual learning, and technology evolution, DefleX®-3D is our teaching system helping students learn about 3D digital image correlation (DIC) that measures and visualises full-field surface deformations, strains and displacements. 

Designed for teaching, it enables students to explore material behaviour, experimental mechanics, and design validation with real-world data. Simple to calibrate and quick to set up, using two digital cameras and image analysis software, DefleX®-3D captures surface changes in real-time or playback, enabling footage manipulation and data analysis whenever, wherever.

Enhancing students’ learning and understanding of basic structural principles focusing on beams, bridges and cantilevers, these free course books provide real life examples and theories and run through the experimental set-up, procedures, and analysis.

Experiment that illustrates and proves the basic theory of shear force in a beam. Mounts on the Structures platform and connects to the Structures automatic data acquisition unit and software (VDAS® Onboard).
