Assessment of High Speed Imaging Systems for 2D and 3D Deformation Measurements: Methodology Development and Validation
TL;DR: Baseline uniaxial tension experiments demonstrate that image correlation measurements using high speed imaging systems are unbiased and consistent with independent deformation measurements over the same length scale, with point-to-point strain variations that are similar to results obtained from translation experiments.
