The Digital 3D Correlation System Q-400 is used for non contact, full field measurement of contour and deformation of any object. It consists of two high resolution CCD cameras, an illumination device and an evaluation computer with software. Condition is natural or artificial stochastic pattern on the surface of the material. This pattern is observed by the one (2D) or the two (3D) cameras. The deformations and distortions of this pattern due to deformation or movement of the object are recorded by the cameras. These images are automatically analysed with special high accuracy correlation algorithms. The result a set of data is generated containing the start contour of the object at beginning of the measurement and the threedimensional displacement vector of each object point due to the object deformation. Furthermore, the surface strain components are derived at every surface point. System before the measurement must be calibrated using calibration targets. You can then evaluate the displacement of each point of the surface sub-pixel accuracy. Consequently, strains as small as 0.01 % can be resolved. On the other hand, also very large deformations with strains of several 100% can be analysed. Various data export functions deliver the interfaces for further data processing in external program systems.
