Vibrography

Vibration analysis is a critical tool for understanding the dynamic behavior of structures and components under operational conditions. It is widely used across industries such as automotive, aerospace, and machinery diagnostics to improve performance, detect faults, and optimize designs. With techniques like Operational Deflection Shapes (ODS), engineers gain valuable insights to enhance reliability and ensure structural integrity. Explore the case studies below to see its impact in action.

3D DIC

3D DIC (Digital Image Correlation) employs a synchronized pair of cameras to capture sequences of images and analyze changes in three-dimensional space (x, y, z). Using stereo triangulation, 3D DIC reconstructs the test surface in 3D, allowing accurate measurement of out-of-plane motion (means in depth).

Bending Test of Smartphone Glass Film: Evaluates the displacement of a tempered glass film during a bending test.

3D DIC vs. Strain Gauge: A Comparative Case Study: Compares strain results obtained from a traditional contact strain gauge with a non-contact 3D DIC system during a tensile test.

Component Testing: Comparison of DIC and FEA: Evaluation of the strain and displacement fields. Results obtained using DIC were compared with predictions from FEA.

2D DIC

2D DIC uses a single camera to capture sequences of images and analyze planar (x, y) changes on a test surface under load. This method assumes the test surface remains fully planar and perpendicular to the camera’s optical axis throughout the measurement. Any out-of-plane motion or misalignment can lead to errors in correlation.
