Professor Fabrice Pierron

I am a specialist of the design of nocel test procedures for mechanical testing of materials based on full-field measurements like Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and inverse identification like the Virtual Fields Method (VFM). I hve recently christened this new test paradigm as Material Testing 2.0 (MT2.0). This technology is now commercially available on the MatchID software platform. In 2014, I was awarded an EPSRC Established Career Fellowship to explore the design of a new generation of high strain rate tests of materials based on ultra-high speed imaging. Some results are avaiable on my research group website.
