Measure dynamic aircraft wing deformation using non-contact 3D digital image correlation (DIC). This case study presents a multi-camera approach with vibration compensation, validated on a 1:10-scale wing model. XTOP3D’s XTDIC-STROBE system provided synchronized reference measurements to evaluate the proposed method for in-flight wing deformation monitoring.

XTOP3D’s XTDIC-STROBE 3D Dynamic Measurement System provides non-contact measurement of aircraft attitude, 3D trajectories, and structural deformation. Combining high-speed imaging, digital image correlation (DIC), and rigid-body motion analysis, it supports six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) measurement, while camera motion compensation helps reduce vibration-related measurement errors. Applications include wind tunnel testing, helicopter rotor analysis, and in-flight wing deformation measurement, providing experimental data for aircraft design, structural dynamics analysis, and performance evaluation. XTOP3D’s XTDIC-STROBE 3D Dynamic Measurement System leverages advanced Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technology and high-speed optical capture to provide precise, non-contact 6-Degrees-of-Freedom (6-DOF) motion trajectory and full-field dynamic strain/displacement measurement under real flight and wind tunnel testing conditions.

XTOP3D’s XTDIC system uses 3D digital image correlation (DIC) for non-contact, full-field deformation and strain measurement in high-temperature material testing. Applications include composite tensile testing, welding deformation analysis, and laser-induced thermal deformation measurement, providing experimental data for evaluating material behavior and validating numerical simulations.
