This method is often used to measure full-field displacement and strains, and it is widely applied in many areas of science and engineering. Compared to strain gauges and extensometers, digital image correlation methods provide finer details about deformation, due to the ability to provide both local and average data.
A wireline extensometer monitoring slope displacement and transmitting data remotely via radio or Wi-Fi. An extensometer is a device that is used to measure changes in the length of an object. [1] It is useful for stress-strain measurements and tensile tests. Its name comes from "extension-meter".
Displacement measurement is the measurement of changes in directed distance (displacement). Devices measuring displacement are based on displacement sensors, which can be contacting or non-contacting. [1] Some displacement sensors are based on displacement transducers, [2] devices which convert displacement into another form of energy. [3]
Acromioclavicular joint dislocations are graded from I to VI. Grading is based upon the degree of separation of the acromion from the clavicle with weight applied to the arm. Grade I is slight displacement of the joint, and a badly stretched or partially torn AC ligament. It has the normal separation of <4 mm.
The joint is formed by the sternal end of the clavicle, the clavicular notch of the sternum, and (the superior surface of) the costal cartilage of the first rib. [1] The articular surface of the clavicle is larger than that of the sternum, and is invested with a layer of cartilage, which is considerably thicker than that of the sternum. [1]
A contact point is created by touching of edges of two different teeth. During mandibular crowding, teeth are often rotated, displaced either palatally or buccally. The Little's irregularity index measures the horizontal linear displacement of anatomic contact points of each mandibular incisor from the adjacent anatomic point and sums the five ...
The length of the crack is measured. The specimen is then loaded monotonically. A plot of the load versus the crack opening displacement is used to determine the load at which the crack starts growing. This load is substituted into the above formula to find the fracture toughness .
There is a 2- to 3-fold increase in the coracoclavicular distance, causing such a severe displacement that the clavicle almost pierces the skin. [11] The humerus and scapula drop without having the clavicular strut to lift them, which manifests as a severely drooping shoulder. [ 11 ]
