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 …

Digital image and volume correlation (DIC and DVC) are increasingly being used to
measure the deformation and damage behaviour of composite materials. The …

The mechanical characteristics and failure behavior of rocks containing flaws or
discontinuities have received wide attention in the field of rock mechanics. When external …

In the current study, bio-inspired lattice structures are derived from the architecture of the
Euplectella aspergillum (sea sponge). All the lattice structures are fabricated using the fused …

This paper presents a homography-based method by combining an unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) and the digital image correlation (DIC) together for vibration measurement of …

A vision-based approach has been employed in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of
bridge infrastructure. The approach has many advantages: non-contact, non-destructive …

Background Developments in digital image correlation (DIC) in the last decade have made it
a practical and effective optical technique for displacement and strain measurement at high …

Heterostructured (HS) material with extraordinary mechanical properties has been regarded
as one of the most promising structural materials. Here, we reported a new strategy for …

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites have excellent mechanical properties and outstanding
development potential and are cost-effective. They have increasingly been used in …
