On the Cover<br />
The Instron Advanced Video Extensometer<br />
(AVE) is a high per<strong>for</strong>mance,<br />
noncontact extensometer with measurement<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance that meets or<br />
exceeds that of traditional contact<br />
extensometers. The unit contains no<br />
moving mechanical parts and there<strong>for</strong>e<br />
is not susceptible to effects from<br />
mechanical inertia or wear. A high<br />
resolution digital camera and advanced<br />
real-time image processing<br />
make precise axial and transverse<br />
(optional) strain measurements on<br />
material test specimens. Image courtesy<br />
