Description: Matlab processing code, raw experimental images and processed data for Image-Based Inertial Impact (IBII) tests on transvere carbon fibre samples. Processing code is enclosed in a single zip file. Seperate zip files are included for the raw data for each specimen and associated output from the processing code. A series of videos of the kinematic fields for each specimen are included as a separate zip file.

Data Files:
The following zip files contain the raw .tiff images for each sample based on the specimen identifier as described in the article listed at the top of this file. Each file also contains the processed data for each sample including: image sequences of the kinematic fields and identified material properties: 
•	Specimen1Data.zip
•	Specimen2Data.zip
•	Specimen3Data.zip
•	Specimen4Data.zip
•	Specimen5Data.zip
•	Specimen6Data.zip

This file contains the Matlab code used to process the data and most of the dependent functions. The code uses the grid method toolbox which can be found here: http://www.thegridmethod.net/code
•	IBII_MatlabCode.zip

This file contains videos of the kinematic fields for each sample:
•	KinematicFieldVideos.zip
