Advancement of Optical Methods & Digital Image Correlation in Experimental Mechanics, Volume 3

Advancement of Optical Methods & Digital Image Correlation in Experimental Mechanics , Volume 3 of the Proceedings of the 2018 SEM Annual Conference & Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics , the third volume of eight 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: 

• New Developments in Optical Methods & Fringe Pattern Analysis;
  
• DIC Applications for Challenging Environments;
  
• Optical Methods in SEM: History & Perspective;
  
• Mechanical Characterization of Materials & Structures with Optical Methods;
  
• Bioengineering.
