High speed imaging is becoming increasingly important in Experimental Mechanics. With the drive to produce better materials with increased impact resistance and damage tolerance high speed imaging has become an essential part of the engineers’ tool box. It is now possible to capture the rapid deformations that occur during failure and at phase transformation in situations where it is impossible to obtain reliable data from contact sensors. The images combined with data processing and image correlation routines can map the strain experienced by the structure.

Recently the technology surrounding high speed imaging has advanced considerably with camera speeds available up to 5 million frames per second. The purpose of the showcase is to demonstrate the range of imaging systems available and to show how the captured data can be used for strain measurement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who should attend?

The showcase is a unique event aimed at engineers and scientists with a background in experimental mechanics, test and evaluation, numerical stress analysis and structural design wishing to enhance their knowledge of high speed imaging and its applications.

What are the benefits?

The showcase will enable practitioners to better understand the advantages and limitations of imaging systems by providing live demonstrations from manufacturers.

Two plenary presentations will define the state of the art in both physics and
applications.

Manufacturers will provide short presentations and demonstrations.

Delegates are invited to present their work by poster and in short presentations. Those interested in presenting a poster should provide a title and author list on registration.

The focus of the meeting will be on user experience and discussion.

The event will end with an interactive wrap-up session where the key points will be summarized and will be led by an experienced user of the technology.

The topics covered will be relevant over many industries and will also be of great use to those studying for higher degrees that cover aspects of
material performance. The meeting is free to BSSM and Dymat members.

Non-members or members of co-sponsoring organisations should refer to the registration form for delegate fees.
