TITLE: The Image-Based Inertial Release (IBIR) Test: A New High Strain Rate Test For Stiffness Strain-Rate Sensitivity Identification
JOURNAL: Experimental Mechanics


This dataset contains:

Description: Raw experimental images for Image-Based Inertial Release (IBIR) tests 
performed on 3 PMMA samples. The Matlab code used to process the data is also 
included along with the associated output from the processing code. Identified 
material properties for all samples are given for the each identification case: 
stress-gauge with/without the uniaxial assumption and the special optimised virtual 
fields with 1 or 2 boundary conditions applied.

Data Files: The following zip files contain the raw .tiff images for each sample 
including the static reference images and the dynamic test images. Each file also 
contains the processed data for each sample including: image sequences of the 
kinematic fields and identified material properties for each identification case 
described in the paper: 
- Data_IBIRTest_PMMA_S1.zip
- Data_IBIRTest_PMMA_S2.zip
- Data_IBIRTest_PMMA_S3.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:
