A Non-Contact Strain Measurement Method
Optical method is a non contact method for strain measurement. This project aims to investigate the use of simple tools to obtain strain values. The objective is to evaluate the suitability of strain measurement method by processing images captured using a digital camera. The tools include an 8 MP d...

The objective is to evaluate the suitability of strain measurement method by processing images captured using a digital camera. The tools include an 8 MP digital camera, a 5kN Universal Tensile Machine and Adobe Photoshop CS3 as the image processing software. A polyethylene specimen was loaded in tension according to ASTM D638 testing method while the digital camera captured the image of specimen being loaded.

The results showed good agreement between experimental and literature values. Mild steel, however, is not analyzed its profile because of incorrect mounting orientation of specimen.
