Abstract Digital Image Correlation (DIC) has emerged as a pivotal non-contact, full-field
deformation measurement method over the past four decades, witnessing a remarkable …

Mechanical and thermal stresses are one of the main reasons causing the damage of MgO–
C refractories in service. An in-depth understanding of the fracture behavior of MgO–C …

Flake graphite is prone to preferential orientation distribution owing to its flat geometric
structure, resulting in significant anisotropy of the physical properties of MgO-C refractories …

A mesh refinement procedure designed for Digital Image Correlation analyses of cracked
media is proposed, based on the pixel color for an artificial case, and the crack opening …

The gray level conservation is the underlying hypothesis of Digital Image Correlation (DIC).
However, it may be challenging to enforce in some experimental configurations. Brightness …

Masonry walls are subjected to cyclic lateral loads to study damage caused by earthquakes.
Imaging techniques are useful to quantify crack networks in such tests, where preferential …

Magnesium alumina spinel solid solutions with different chemical compositions were
synthesized and their crystal structures were refined using the Rietveld method based on …
