About the Lab

We are currently developing the infrastructure for the new Experimental and Computational Continuum Mechanics Facility.

This facility will provide cutting edge experimental capability for research, teaching and consultancy by combining optical measurement methods like 3D Digital Image Correlation (DIC) for strain measurement and stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) for flow field measurement with numerical simulation capability for multi-scale and multi-disciplinary research.

The optical measurement expertise in the lab will also be used to develop interferometry and photoelasticity systems and provides a home for researchers and students to work with advanced laser measurement systems.
