In the last few decades, there has been a surge of research in the area of non-contact
measurement techniques. Photogrammetry has received considerable attention due to its …

This study reviews the recent progress in the application of digital image correlation (DIC) to
testing composite structures with an order of size magnitude of meters. The DIC technique …

With the recent demands for more efficient clean renewable energy sources, wind turbines
are designed that have large rotor blade diameters. These large-sized wind turbines need to …

Many operating structures undergo vibration associated with significant rigid-body motion,
such as earthquake-excited structures which vibrate while moving (and/or rocking) along …

This paper compares two fibre optic sensing techniques for vibration characterisation:(a)
optical fibre Bragg grating (FBG) strain gauges and (b) a novel direct fibre optic shape …

Validating numerical models are one of the main aspects of engineering design. However,
correlating million degrees of freedom of numerical models to the few degrees of freedom of …

The morphology of speckle patterns commonly used in the digital image correlation (DIC)
community can be categorized into artificially generated free shapes and computer …

The non-intrusive in-flight measurement of the deformation and pitch of the aircraft propeller
is a demanding task. The idea of an imaging system integrated and rotating with the aircraft …

Accelerometers have been conventionally used to measure the response of structures for
modal analysis. These pointwise sensors only provide information at a few discrete locations …

This chapter provides an overview and some important considerations to be made when
making optical and stereophotogrammetry measurements on structures for dynamic …
