The NASGRO® ( www.nasgro.swri.org ) fracture mechanics and fatigue crack growth analysis software is distributed as part of the ESACRACK software for application to fracture control verification of structural hardware used on ESA projects. 

Matlab-based Digital Image and Volume Correlation Simulators

Submitted by franck@brown.edu on

Hi,
I just posted a Matlab-GUI easy-to-use DIC and DVC simulator tool on our website (franck.engin.brown.edu) for download for anyone that works with DIC or DVC. The purpose of these simulators is to simulate deformation fields based on a user provided image (2D) or volume (3D), and evaluate the correlation results with the analytical solutions to provide quantitative feedback on the "goodness" of the provided images for DIC or DVC purposes.
Feel free to use them for research, teaching, etc. We welcome any suggestions for improvements, etc.
