Description

The University of Plymouth is looking to reinforce its reputation as an innovative centre of excellence for engineering research, teaching and learning. The new Engineering and Design facility (NEDF) being constructed on the western edge of the main Plymouth campus will provide a new home for the specialist laboratories and teaching facilities of the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics and the School of Art, Design and Architecture.

We have a requirement for two high-resolution, digital image correlation (DIC) systems for structural analysis. One DIC system is required to serve the specific needs of a research project, whilst the other DIC system will serve our more generic structural testing and response behaviour analysis needs across many different applications.

The two DIC systems need to complement each other and operate using a common software platform. Consequently, we are seeking a single-source supplier for both DIC systems.
