ABSTRACTA new design for a thin film microtensile tester is presented. The strain is measured directly on the free-standing thin film from the displacement of laser spots diffracted from a thin grating applied to its surface by photolithography. The diffraction grating is two-dimensional, allowing strain measurement both along and transverse to the tensile direction. In principle, both Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of a thin film can be determined. Ag thin films with strong <111> texture were tested. The measured Young moduli agreed with those measured on bulk crystals, but the measured Poisson ratios were low, most likely due to slight transverse folding of the film that developed during the test.

Abstract Among the full-field optical measurement methods, the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is one of the techniques which has been given particular attention. Technically, the DIC technique refers to a non-contact strain measurement method that mathematically compares the grey intensity changes of the images captured at two different states: before and after deformation. The measurement can be performed by numerically calculating the displacement of speckles which are deposited on the top of object’s surface. In this paper, the Two-Dimensional Digital Image Correlation (2D-DIC) is presented and its fundamental concepts are discussed. Next, the development of the 2D-DIC algorithms in the past 33 years is reviewed systematically. The improvement of 2DDIC algorithms is presented with respect to two distinct aspects: their computation efficiency and measurement accuracy. Furthermore, analysis of the 2D-DIC accuracy is included, followed by a review of the DIC applications for two-dimensional measurements.

Introduction: Right ventricle (RV) systolic function is an important determinant of cardiopulmonary outcomes in premature infants. Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) derived myocardial strain is a reliable measure of RV systolic function in premature infants, but lacks reference values for clinical application in premature infants. We aimed to determine the maturational (age- and weight- related) changes in RV strain to establish reference values in preterm infants from birth to one year corrected age (CA). Methods: RV peak global longitudinal strain (pGLS) and RV free wall longitudinal strain (FWLS) were measured in a prospective longitudinal study in 115 preterm infants (< 29 weeks at birth) at 24 and 72 hours of age (HOA), 32 and 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA), and one year (CA) by 2DTSE (GE EchoPac) from a RV-focus apical 4-chamber view using a validated protocol. Premature infants that developed chronic lung disease or had a hemodynamically significant PDA were excluded (n=65) from analysis for the reference values. Results: RV pGLS ranged from -16% at birth to -26% by one year CA and RV FWLS ranged from -18% at birth to -27% to one year CA in healthy preterm infants. RV pGLS and FWLS strain correlated with increasing weight (r=0.87, p < 0.001), PMA in weeks (r=0.85, p < 0.001; r=0.83, p < 0.001), but were independent of gestational age at birth (r=0.4, p=0.38; r=0.3, p=0.5). RV strain was significantly lower in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (p=0.004) at 32 and 36 weeks PMA, and one year CA (Figure). RV strain was independent of gender or need for mechanical ventilation. Conclusions: This study establishes reference values of RV global and free wall longitudinal strain and tracks their postnatal maturational changes in preterm infants. These measures increase from birth to one year CA and are linearly associated with increasing weight reflecting the postnatal cardiac growth as a contributor to the maturation of RV function.
