Non-Contact Strain & Deformation Measurements
Correlated Solutions offers industry-leading, non-contact strain and deformation measurement solutions for materials and product testing. These measurements can be made on length scales ranging from microns to meters and time scales as small as nanoseconds. Our engineers are specialists in non-contact deformation measurements, and are recognized as world leaders and inventors of digital image correlation (DIC). In addition to our powerful standard DIC systems, Correlated Solutions also offers advanced solutions and specialized systems for defect detection and vibration analysis.
Primary Systems
The VIC-2D system is a turnkey solution that utilizes optimized correlation algorithms to provide full-field two-dimensional displacement and strain data for mechanical testing on planar specimens. In-plane displacements and strains are measured at every pixel subset within the area of interest, and full-field contour plots are displayed at every time step.
The VIC-3D 9 system is an industry-leading measurement solution for full-field, three-dimensional shape, displacement, and strain. Using this method, 3D displacements and strains are available at every point on the specimen’s surface. All systems are customized to your needs and are available for a wide range of size scales for quasi-static and dynamic events.
The VIC-EDU system is a low-cost solution developed for academic institutions to assist in teaching the digital image correlation technique to undergraduate and graduate students. The VIC-EDU system utilizes the same accurate DIC algorithms found in the powerful VIC-3D software, while allowing users to acquire data quickly and easily.
VIC-Volume is a digital volume correlation (DVC) software that utilizes quantitative image analysis for measuring the internal deformation of a volume from image slices acquired via an X-Ray or CT scanner. The theory is similar to 2D and 3D DIC analysis, except the z dimension (through the material) is added allowing for full characterization of the material.

DIC Data Visualization with iris
All VIC-2D and VIC-3D systems include a new powerful graphics engine called iris at absolutely no extra cost. Developed from the ground up, iris brings stunning visualizations to your data like never before. Creating powerful high-resolution animations for your presentations has never been easier since iris was developed specifically for the visualization of DIC data. Features, such as templates, have been designed to streamline the entire process of sharing your DIC results in full-length presentation videos or static reports. Furthermore, iris has the ability to input external data, so you can directly animate and compare your measurement results with the model predictions. To find out more about iris, or request a demonstration, please contact us today.
