The ZwickRoell 2D DIC option makes local strains visible in 2D over the entire specimen surface. In combination with the standard strain measurement, you gain valuable additional information on specimen behavior for specimens that maintain a plane surface throughout the test. You are further supported by numerous analysis tools and an immediate display of the results in the form of various diagrams. All this without the need for additional hardware and supported by our testing software testXpert III. You can easily and extensively analyze all measured values with each other. Strain values of a gauge length defined in the 2D DIC can be displayed and evaluated in a stress-strain curve. We will show you the many possibilities that the 2D DIC function offers with various applications.

Testing of Plastics & Composites

Reliable testing of tensile & flexure properties of plastics

• 9. May, 10:30 & 11:30, Room 1
