Workshop in Zurich (2024)
Monday the 10th to Thursday the 13th of June 2024 , Zurich (Switzerland).
Hands-on workshop on 3D displacement and deformation measurement from time-series images
Crash course for a proficient use of SPAM, the python "Software for Practical Analysis of Materials"
Edward Andò from the EPFL Center for Imaging will give a three-day hands-on workshop on the measurements of 3D displacements and strains using a leading open-source python software called SPAM of which he is a core developer.
Places are limited, so please register.

The program
The workshop is held from Monday the 10th to Thursday the 13th of June 2024 .
| Day 1 | Theoretical aspects and first practice on 2D existing data to get acquainted with the main concepts (registration, pixel-search, iterative methods, residual calculation, strain calculation) |
| Day 2 | We’ll use Prof De Lorenzis’ X-ray scanner (Computational Mechanics Lab) to acquire some 3D volumes during an in-situ experiment, analyse them and visualise the results in Paraview. |
| Day 3 | Further concepts and practical session on everyone’s different 3D time series. |
| Day 4 (optional) | Advanced session with Regularised Global DVC. |
Some requirements
