Advancement of Optical Methods in Experimental Mechanics, Volume 3

Advancement of Optical Methods in Experimental Mechanics, Volume 3 of the Proceedings of the 2016 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the third volume of ten from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on a wide range of optical methods ranging from traditional photoelasticity and interferometry to more recent DIC and DVC techniques, and includes papers in the following general technical research areas: Advances in Digital Image CorrelationChallenging Applications of DICUncertainty Analysis & Improvements to DIC AccuracyPhotoelasticity, Interferometry, & Moire MethodsApplications of StereovisionInverse Methods at High Strain RatesInverse Methods in Plasticity
