Application info In this experiment, the focus of investigation was a rectangular plate, serving as a low-profile pad support, embedded within a cylindrical frame. The plate offers resistance during deformation, effectively functioning as a spring. The apparatus finds application in aerodynamic bearings featuring tilting pads, contributing to the maintenance of smooth operation amidst varying working… Continue reading Measured and Calculated: Bending of the aerodynamic bearing pad support

Introduction  Optical measurement is today an inherent part of research and development in engineering sciences. It is apparent that no measuring technique is entirely precise, and DIC (Digital Image Correlation) Testing is no exception. That said, if it is decided that DIC measurement should be integrated into the R&D workflow or the quality control process,… Continue reading Camera Angle influence on measurement error

Introduction  Out-of-plane movement is an issue that can cause a serious deviation during measurement with 2D systems. In the case of simple Tensile tests, if the machine’s construction isn’t sturdy enough or the machine’s grips have some clearance, serious movement in the direction parallel to the camera axis is possible, which 2D systems cannot capture.… Continue reading Out-of-plane movements effect on Simple tensile test measurement
