We present a new particle tracking algorithm to accurately resolve large deformation and rotational motion fields, which takes advantage of both local and global particle tracking algorithms. We call this method the ScalE ...

Background: Intermediate-strain-rate mechanical testing of soft and biological materials is important when designing, measuring, predicting, or manipulating an object or system’s response to common impact scenarios. Open ...

Background: High strain-rate deformations of soft materials occur in many applications, and thus measurements of at-rate volumetric deformations are needed to understand physical processes relevant to, for example, hydrogel ...
