Keywords: test monitoring, full-field

The common application of non-destructive testing techniques is the detection of defects in structures, during the production or maintenance phases. However, the increasing value of structural testing led us to implement these methods in order to monitor structures during mechanical tests. Indeed available techniques allow to have more data at one's disposal, defect propagation or full-field deformation, and thus to draw more profit from individual test results.
