Abstract

Digital Image Correlation became one of the dominant optical full-field techniques used in experimental mechanics. It does not require sophisticated equipment to evaluate the full displacement vector field of the specimen under test with great accuracy. In this paper, we would like to put the reader's attention to the DIC technique as a solution that may identify the genuine character of the load applied to the object under test. Our experience with testing wind turbine blades using DIC proves that possibility.
