Mercury RT
Back to DIC Software

Mercury RT is a software technology that uses Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique to perform 2D/3D full-field with a non-contact optical technique to measure contour, deformation, vibration and strain on almost any material. It provides on-line data acquisition as well as data processing.

The Mercury RT software can be used with many testings including tensile, torsion, bending and combined loading for both static and dynamic applications. 

MERCURY RT Core Features:

❖ Material Testing: Evaluate material properties with high precision.

❖ Component Testing: Analyze the behavior of various components under different conditions.

❖ Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Validation: Validate FEA results with real-world deformation data.

❖ Flow/Motion Field Measurement: Understand and visualize the flow or motion fields in your experiments.

❖ Vibrography: Study vibrations and oscillations in structures.

Test Rig Control: Have control over your test rig for comprehensive experiments
