Measuring 3D Volume of Reinforced Rubber Matrix Composite

A reinforced rubber matrix composite is mounted between two grips, and a set of reference images are acquired from a CT scanner at know increments. Each ‘slice’ of data is then analyzed to compute a static volume measurement. After the specimen undergoes a tensile load, images are acquired again by the CT scanner at the same locations.

Measuring 3D Volume of Rubber Torus

A rubber puck is mounted between two grips, and a set of reference images are acquired from a CT scanner at know increments. Each ‘slice’ of data is then analyzed to compute a static volume measurement. After the puck undergoes a compression load, images are acquired again by the CT scanner at the same locations. Digital Image Correlation algorithms are used to calculate the volumetric change or deformation at each individual voxel, which make up the 3D volume.

Adhesion Energy of Graphene on Nickel Substrates

In this study, for the first time, a novel full-field three dimensional (3D) blister test via stereo-digital image correlation (StereoDIC) was developed to characterize the interfacial interaction between as-grown graphene on nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) substrates, respectively.

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Measurement from Thermal Loading

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) have two primary functions: to provide electrical connections between terminals on the board, and to affix electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and microchips via soldering. PCBs are used in many devices around the world on a day-to-day basis. Their small and lightweight design allows them to be found in nearly every electronic device, such as smart watches, phones & computers, and even digital cameras.

Strains Within a 300µm Diameter Ball Solder in BGA

The VIC-3D Stereo Microscope System enables local analysis within very small elements. One industry that benefits from this small-field imaging is microelectronics. Small electronics, like ball grid arrays (BGA) seen here, are too far small for traditional DIC to provide enough resolution to obtain local strain distribution within the actual ball solder.
