Between 2003-2006, a European consortium, known as SPOTS, developed a draft proposed
TTA for optical techniques used to measure static strain fields. A new European consortium, known as ADVISE was formed in December 2008 to perform
pre-normative research in field of dynamic stress and strain analysis. Further details on ADVISE can be obtained
from the Project Coordinator, Dr Erwin
Hack or the Technical Coordinator, Dr
Eann Patterson |

Objectives |
||||||
|
·
development of reference materials that allow traceability
and calibration of full-field optical methods of deformation measurement in
cyclic, transient and non-linear dynamic events; ·
optimisation of
methodologies for both optical measurement and computational modelling and simulation of non-linear, transient dynamic
events; ·
contributions to standardisation activity for experimental validation of
dynamic simulations. |
||||||
|
Innovation |
||||||
|
The
innovative aspects of the project include the first attempt to provide a unified
approach to experimental validation of engineering simulations of primary
structures, the development of reference materials for optical dynamic
deformation measurement, and a major contribution to standardisation
through VAMAS TWA 26 which has thus far focused on static measurements. |
