The FlexDIC is a 3-camera adjustable DIC system that can be used for;
- all types of (quasi-) static testing, including; uniaxial tensile, compression, shear, bending, FLC, bulge, and biaxial tensile.
- oscillatory load (ie. cyclic, fatigue & fracture mechanic) testing,
- vibration analysis (<20 Hz excitation frequency), and
- motion analysis (<0.3 m/s test object speed)
The FlexDIC system is modular and can be upgraded with additional lenses, calibration targets, illumination systems, and also with additional cameras turning the system into a MulticamDIC system.
The FlexDIC is a complete & fully equipped DIC measurement system (typically) supplied with; 2 or 3 continuous-mode USB3 or GigE cameras, a Laptop PC, a DAQ, lenses, calibration targets, an illumination system, mounting, and a tripod. The cameras can be triggered either via the DAQ (itsef) or can be operated in Maser/Slave mode. Additionally, using the DAQ, the FlexDIC can read in up to 8x +/-10V analogue signals (i.e. from a load cell, LVDT, or strain gauges). The system also allows up to 2x analogue outputs to be read-out from the DAQ, in real-time, from correlated results of virtual gauges (using the Istra4D Real-Time Correlation Evaluation).
