Hello everybody

 I'm doing some experimental research by the help of DIC method, But I have a huge problem that I hope someone can help me about that.  After capturing my datas, I realized that there is a constant value of rigid body motion that is added to my real datas and so that all of my results seem to be wrong. I was wondering if anyone knows how to eliminate this rigid body motion ( translation or rotation) from my datas. 

Thanks in Advance

This message is for excellent, potentially interested, and
very motivated students that desire to start a PhD study in the
Computational Science Research Center (CSRC) at the San Diego State
University (SDSU) located in California, USA.

The research topic is about the computational solid mechanics.

CSRC
has a very prestigious record in the computational science and is the
15th center of this type in USA.



The interested students can apply starting from October 1st 2011
until January 15th 2012.

Dear Colleagues,

Springer is providing free access to the International Journal of Fracture until the end of this year. I hope you take advantage of this opportunity and browse through the journal content. You may access the journal at the following link: http://www.springer.com/materials/characterization+%26+evaluation/journal/10704?changeHeader.

Scope of Symposium

It is widely accepted that fatigue is the most common failure mode of structural components. Losses due

to fatigue failures annually are over several millions to billions of dollars. Apart from these economic

losses, fatigue failures are also responsible for causing major safety concerns due to the rapid and often

undetectable nature of the final components’ fracture. This symposium will bring together researchers

A Three days international conference on Engineering Coatings is going to be held in Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay during Feb 9-11,2012
