DESCRIPTION:Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful experimental t
 echnique that computes 3D full-field displacement and strain maps from v
 olumes images acquired during a deformation process of a material. DVC i
 s the 3D extension of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) which was first de
 scribed four decades ago. The emergence of DVC started early 2000s with 
 the use of X-ray CT combined with in situ rigs to capture 3D morphologic
 al changes with time. Although the DVC algorithms are in spirit similar 
 to DIC algorithms\, DVC requires special attention and expertise from mu
 ltiple fields (3D imaging\, in situ testing\, CT reconstruction\, mechan
 ics of materials\, etc.) as the texture is not controlled (natural contr
 ast brought by imaging) and the noise/CT artefacts are often dominating 
 the accuracy/precision of the measurements. Adding the 4th dimension (3D
  + time) also means  that data processing and visualization are key to e
 xtract the mechanical information hidden inside the 4D datasets.\n\nThe 
 training is organised in two parts: theory (0.5 day) and computer-based 
 practical works (1.5 day) using the XDigitalVolumeCorrelation extension 
 in the Thermo Scientific™ Amira-Avizo Software 3D where two solutions ar
 e implemented (a classic subset based approach and a more robust global 
 approach). At the end of the second day\, the users are invited to pract
 ise on their own dataset with the help of the trainers. \n\nWho should a
 ttend?  Researchers working in the field of mechanics\, physics\, and ma
 terials science using 3D imaging techniques such as X-ray computed tomog
 raphy who are interested to (i) compute 3D full-field displacements and 
 strains for linking the microstructure to the mechanical/physical behavi
 our\, (ii) use the DVC measured data to feed/validate finite element mod
 els. The attendees are requested to bring their own laptop to practise o
 n the XDigitalVolumeCorrelation extension (free trial licence will be pr
 ovided).\n\nHow to register: Please contact Sarah Batts if you wish to s
 ign up for this course (sarah.batts@manchester.ac.uk). Places are limite
 d to 10 attendees per course. Courses generally fill up very quickly and
  places are allocated on a first come first serve basis. If there is low
  attendance\, a course may be cancelled with a month’s notice.\n
