Lot 4

This tender concerns Lot 4, specifically the procurement of a Digital Image Correlation (DIC) equipment for the video-correlation of digital images. This equipment is intended for the monitoring of mechanical tests, falling under Module 3 of a broader project. The DIC system is a non-contact optical method used to measure the full-field deformation and strain of materials and structures during mechanical testing. It works by tracking the movement of a random speckle pattern applied to the surface of the specimen under test. By analyzing the displacement of these speckles between images captured by high-resolution cameras, the system can compute detailed strain and displacement maps. This capability is crucial for understanding material behavior under stress, identifying failure mechanisms, and validating computational models. The specific requirements for this DIC equipment, as detailed in Module 3, will likely include specifications on camera resolution, frame rate, lighting systems, software capabilities for data acquisition and analysis, and compatibility with various testing machines. The successful bidder will be responsible for supplying, and potentially installing and commissioning, this advanced measurement system, which will play a vital role in the precise monitoring and analysis of mechanical testing outcomes.

This is a supplies contract in the Research and information and communication technology sectors, with a focus on Research Institutions and Data Analytics. Located in Spain, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 32,000.
