    ADDRESSING STRAIN MEASUREMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR INDUSTRY AND RESEARCH

Applications: ASAME Target Model for 2D Measurements

Use One System for 3D and 2D Measurements

ASAME: Measurement Process Image Set

The ASAME Target Model can be used for two types of measurement work.

[1] Measurement of out-of-plane strains and the corresponding geometry over the surface of a part after deformation.

[2] Measurement of in-plane strains and corresponding 2D geometry points over the surface of a flat part during deformation (i.e. tensile testing). With the Nikon D300s digital camera, images can be captured at a rate of up to 7 frames per second (fps). Some sample measurement results of real-time in-plane surface strains are given in the clip below.
