12. Stereo Ultra-High-Speed Camera Facility

  • State-of-the-art stereo (3D) ultra-high-speed and high-resolution camera
  • Can run at up to 1,000,000 frames per second, which makes it able to capture the high-speed fracture of brittle materials.
  • 3D high-speed photography and Stereo Digital Image Correlation (DIC) capabilities,
  • Quantitative measurement of static and dynamic deformation and cracking patterns in rock failure can be monitored.
