Analysis of Aneurysm Analogues using VIC-3D
To measure the inhomogeneous 3D-strain fields present during inflation-extension testing of physiologically submerged micro-aneurysms, a Stereo Digital Image Correlation (StereoDIC) microscopy system is developed that revolves 15° stereo-angle cameras around a centrally-mounted target. Calibration is performed using submerged dot patterns and system accuracy verified using strain and deformation analyses for rigid body motions of speckle-patterned, micro-aneurysmal surrogates. In terms of the Green-Lagrange strain tensor and the 3D displacement fields, the results are stable even after 120 minutes, with maxima in both strain bias and strain standard deviation less than 2E-03 for all components, and micron-level displacement standard deviation.
Contractions of a Rat Tibialis Anterior Muscle
Biomechanical researchers were studying the contractions of a rat Tibialis Anterior muscle. It was desirable to quickly and accurately quantify the overall movements, as well as localized variations.
