Happy New Year!

Our three-day intensive workshop on the VIC-3D digital image correlation system came to a successful conclusion last week in Charlottesville, VA. It was an engaging and insightful experience for all involved, filled with lively discussions, practical exercises, and valuable networking opportunities. We were thrilled to see such enthusiasm and active participation from attendees representing a diverse range of industrial, governmental, and academic institutions. The level of engagement in the hands-on sessions and the thoughtful questions posed during the lectures truly highlighted the growing interest and importance of DIC techniques in modern engineering and scientific research. We are confident that the knowledge and skills gained over these three days will empower participants to effectively apply DIC in their respective fields, getting the most out of their VIC-3D system, and pushing the boundaries of deformation and strain measurement.
