Automotive Testing

Automotive testing is all about putting vehicles, structures, and components through performance testing to guarantee safety & reliability for passengers & goods on the road.

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and Point (Marker) Tracking is often performed for automotive testing for the following applications, including;

  • Assessment of the Forming Limit Curve (FLC) according to ISO 12004-2
  • Measurement of component displacements & motions under loading
  • Wobbling testing of components
  • Vibration analysis
  • Crash & high-strain-rate testing
  • Structural torsion testing.
