The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University will host a seminar on measuring deformation Wednesday (Nov. 4) at 3:30 p.m. in Room 203 of the Zachry Engineering Center on campus.

Dr. Katia Genovese, faculty member in the Department of Environmental Engineering and Physics at the University of Basilicata (Italy), will present the seminar, “Deformation Measurement With the Digital Image Correlation Method,” as part of the biomedical engineering department’s seminar series.

Abstract
The talk will present an experimental approach that uses a digital image correlation technique to provide deformation and strain measurements in a form of two-dimensional contour maps for planar surface specimens. Relationships between some of the most important variables involved in the digital image correlation process will be discussed together with strength points and limitations of the technique. The talk will include a simple tutorial for processing data obtained from a biaxial-test on a cruciform specimen.
