Overview

The DIC system is an add-on module to complement the Akrometrix TherMoiré AXP
or Studio PS400. It is designed for measuring both in-plane and out-of-plane
displacements of samples as a function of temperature. The module uses a full-field,
non-contact optical technique called digital image correlation (DIC). Samples are
measured inside a computer-controlled oven chamber with a temperature range from
ambient to 300°C.
This manual describes the system hardware, image acquisition software (DIC), and
data analysis software (Vic-3D). The DIC software is specific to the AXP and requires its
system hardware to operate. The Vic-3D software may reside on the AXP computer or
operate as a stand-alone application on a remote computer.
Before operating the system, the user should carefully read Section 1.2, which
describes safety and health hazards associated with the system. The TherMoiré AXP or
Studio PS400 system contains a high temperature oven, motorized sample stages, and
electrical systems, all with the potential to injure if used or maintained improperly.
Section 1.3 identifies system components and controls. Section 2 describes basic
procedures for system setup and shutdown.
Appendix A describes the DIC system assembly, individual components and
optical alignment of those components. It has recommended procedures for
maintenance, storage, and transport of the DIC system. This section also contains
equipment ratings, technical support material, and a description of software file types.

Warnings and Precautions

1.2.1 Health and Safety Hazards
 The DIC module is designed to work with the AXP or Studio PS400 system. Do
not operate the DIC system separately. Doing so can cause potential damage of
the DIC components.
 When installing or removing the DIC assembly, place the Akrometrix-supplied
oven shield on top of the oven glass lid to protect the glass from any object that
could be dropped from the DIC assembly.
 Always keep the six bolts on the triangle supports while installing or removing the
DIC assembly.
 During installation or removal of the DIC unit, the user is required to lean inside
the AXP or Studio PS400. Overhead obstacles such as the light source can
cause slight head injury. During installation, be careful and aware of any
overhead obstacles.
 Turn off both light sources prior to disconnecting the optical fiber bundle.
Operation with the light on may cause severe discomfort due to the operator
being exposed to a very bright light with the optical fiber bundle disconnected.
