Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Advanced Vision System Components

将使用先进的计算机视觉设备来提高测量结构部件表面上的面内位移的灵敏度。较小的位移测量将检测到结构中的较小缺陷，并将提供更准确的参数评估，这些参数控制结构的脆性断裂。该设备还将用于测量金属晶界的微观机械变形，从而更好地了解控制金属强度的材料参数。

Advanced computer vision equipment will be used to improve the sensitivity in measuring in-plane displacements on the surface of structural components. Smaller displacement measurements will detect smaller flaws in a structure and will provide more accurate assessment of the parameters which control brittle fracture of structures. The equipment will also be used to measure the micromechanical deformation of grain boundaries in metals leading to a better understanding of the material parameters which control the strength of metals.
