Material Testing 2.0: A brief review

With the advent of camera-based full-field measurement techniques such as digital image correlation (DIC), researchers have been trying to exploit such rich data sets through the use of more complex test configurations than the standard ones (uniaxial tension/compression, bending etc.). This new paradigm in mechanical testing of materials has recently been christened 'Material Testing 2.0'. This paper provides a brief overview of this field, which is currently seeing a large increase in research effort.

Automated summary

With the development of camera-based full-field measurement techniques like digital image correlation, researchers have been exploring more complex test configurations to utilize the extensive data sets. Known as "Material Testing 2.0", this new paradigm in mechanical testing of materials is currently experiencing a significant increase in research efforts.
