In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

This article is a personal review of the historical developments of digital image correlation
(DIC) techniques, together with recent important advances and future goals. The historical …

As a carrier of deformation information, the speckle pattern, or more exactly the random
intensity distributions, which could be naturally occurred or artificially fabricated onto test …

Meta-materials are structures when their small-scale properties are considered, but behave
as materials when their homogenized macroscopic properties are studied. There is an …

High-efficiency and high-accuracy deformation analysis using digital image correlation (DIC)
has become increasingly important in recent years, considering the ongoing trend of using …

We present a detailed experimental procedure for the quantitative determination of
mechanical properties and full-field strain measurement of rock material under dynamic …

Digital image correlation (DIC) has become an industry standard to retrieve accurate
displacement and strain measurement in tensile testing and other material characterization …

The interfacial stress-affected zone (ISAZ), characterized by a stress gradient maximizing at
the interface, is considered a key factor in determining the mechanical properties of …

A noise-tolerant approach to strain estimation in phase-sensitive optical coherence
elastography, robust to decorrelation distortions, is discussed. The method is based on …

Geomaterials (ie rock, sand, soil and concrete) are increasingly being encountered and
used in extreme environments, in terms of the pressure magnitude and the loading rate …
