Hello everybody

 I'm doing some experimental research by the help of DIC method, But I have a huge problem that I hope someone can help me about that.  After capturing my datas, I realized that there is a constant value of rigid body motion that is added to my real datas and so that all of my results seem to be wrong. I was wondering if anyone knows how to eliminate this rigid body motion ( translation or rotation) from my datas. 

Thanks in Advance

This message is for excellent, potentially interested, and
very motivated students that desire to start a PhD study in the
Computational Science Research Center (CSRC) at the San Diego State
University (SDSU) located in California, USA.

The research topic is about the computational solid mechanics.

CSRC
has a very prestigious record in the computational science and is the
15th center of this type in USA.



The interested students can apply starting from October 1st 2011
until January 15th 2012.
