Comparison of FE-based DVC and Integrated DVC for LEFM parameter calibration

In the present work, the mechanical response of a 3D printed CT specimen made of Polycarbonate was studied when subjected to an opening loading. Kinematic fields were first measured via Finite Element based Digital Volume Correlation (FE-based DVC)…
