MA.inStrain

Digital image correlation and test evaluation

An integrated analysis process extending from raw image data to strain mapping, material characterization, and reporting. It operates offline in a standard Windows environment to ensure data security. Thanks to its linear, step-by-step workflow, every stage of the test is systematically logged by the system.

Tracking and solver

  • High-precision measurement capabilities with sub-pixel accuracy, powered by an advanced data solving infrastructure designed to capture micro-scale movements.
  • Sub-pixel tracking and rigid-body motion removal
  • Lighting flicker correction between frames
  • Live view of the tracked dots and the strain map while the solver runs
  • Resume an interrupted calculation; frame reduction for long tests

Strain

  • εxx, εyy, γxy, principal strains ε1 / ε2, maximum shear, von Mises equivalent strain
  • Logarithmic (Hencky), Cauchy or second-order strain measure
  • Displacement fields u and v
  • Virtual extensometer: gauge-length change over the tracked grid
  • Noise floor reported per strain component

Mechanical properties

  • Engineering and true stress–strain curves
  • Young’s modulus with R², 0.2 % offset yield strength, tensile strength and strain at Rm
  • Poisson’s ratio following the method of ASTM E132
  • Flexural stress, strain and modulus following the method of ASTM D790
  • Adjustable fitting range with a live preview

Analysis tools

  • Strain along a line in millimetres; region statistics as a virtual strain gauge
  • Value at the cursor, principal strain directions, distance and angle
  • Material point tracking through the whole test
  • Remove an unreliable zone as a reversible edit

Cracks and fracture

  • Crack zones masked on the strain map, crack opening displacement
  • Crack-tip marking and tracking, strain energy density
  • Apparent stress intensity factor, J-integral and R-curve

Output

  • Publication-ready figures in PNG, TIFF, PDF, SVG and EPS
  • Video or animated GIF of the strain evolution
  • Per-frame strains, stress and properties as CSV

m-AI report

On-premise AI reporting module. It provides comprehensive test interpretations with a single click, accompanying the software’s measurement results. The system operates 100% offline and locally, ensuring maximum data privacy. To prevent AI hallucinations, all numerical data in the generated text is strictly verified against the measurement results, discrepancies are highlighted, and the text is explicitly labeled as AI-generated for full traceability.
