Mechanical Engineering

Machines are facing all parts of our life. They are an essential condition for a modern industrial society.

Mechanical engineering includes the application of principles of physics for analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems.

Electronic Speckle Interferometry and Digital Image Correlation technique support mechanical engineers in the optimization of durability and useful design of components and the improvement of productivity and cost reduction.

Application areas include:

• Material strength
• Instrumentation and measurement
• Kinematics and dynamics
• Engineering design
• Simulation
