IMPPY3D: Image Processing in Python for 3D Image Stacks

April 2, 2025
Author(s)
Newell Moser, Alexander Landauer, Orion Kafka
Image Processing in Python for 3D image stacks, or IMPPY3D, is a free and open-source software (FOSS) repository that simplifies post-processing and 3D shape characterization for grayscale image stacks, otherwise known as volumetric images, 3D images, or

Viscoelastic Assessment Method of Polymeric Foams under Cyclic Fatigue

June 14, 2024
Author(s)
Moira M Foster, Daniel C Morrison, Alexander Landauer, Mark Herynk, Leslie Lamberson
Many energy absorption applications utilize flexible polymeric foams for their viscoelastic properties. It is desired that the material will perform consistently across repeated compression cycles. This study examines the effect of fatigue at low strain

Unintended consequences: Assessing thermo-mechanical changes in vinyl nitrile foam due to micro-computed X-ray tomographic imaging

October 5, 2023
Author(s)
Alexander Landauer, Zois Tsinas, Orion Kafka, Newell Moser, Jack Leigh Glover, Aaron M. Forster
Micro-computed X-ray tomography (μCT) is a volumetric imaging tool used to quantify the internal structure of materials. μCT imaging with mechanical testing (in situ μCT) helps visualize strain-induced structural changes and develop structure-property

Open Source, In-situ, Intermediate Strain Rate Tensile Impact Device for Soft Materials and Cell Culture Systems

September 19, 2023
Author(s)
Luke Summey, Jing Zhang, Alexander Landauer, Jamie Sergay, Jin Yang, Annalise Daul, Jialiang Tao, Jessica Park, Christian Franck
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 source micro-mechanical testing

A Materials Data Framework and Dataset for Elastomeric Foam Impact Mitigating Materials

June 5, 2023
Author(s)
Alexander Landauer, Orion Kafka, Newell Moser, Ian Foster, Ben Blaiszik, Aaron M. Forster
The availability of materials data for impact-mitigating materials has lagged behind applications-based data. For example, data describing on-field helmeted impacts are available, whereas material behaviors for the constituent impact mitigating materials

SerialTrack: ScalE and Rotation Invariant Augmented Lagrangian Particle Tracking

September 19, 2022
Author(s)
Jin Yang, Yue Yin, Alexander Landauer, Selda Buyukozturk, Jing Zhang, Luke Summey, Alexander McGhee, Matthew Fu, John Dabiri, Christian Franck
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 and Rotation Invariant Augmented

DIC Challenge 2.0: Developing Images and Guidelines for Evaluating Accuracy and Resolution of 2D Analyses: Focus on the Metrological Efficiency Indicator

January 4, 2022
Author(s)
Philip Reu, EMC Jones, S.S. Fayad, B. Blaysat, E. Toussaint, Mark Iadicola, P. Lava, J Rethore, J. Yang, K. Bhattacharya, L. Yang, D. Deb, C.S.R. Vemulapati, M Klein, E Ando, E Roubin, O. Stamati, C Couture, Alexander Landauer, M. Liu, S Jaminion, T. Siebert, S.N. Olufsen
Background The DIC Challenge 2.0 follows on from the work accomplished in the first Digital Image Correlation (DIC) Challenge Reu et al. (Experimental Mechanics 58(7):1067, 1). The second challenge was required to better quantify the spatial resolution of

Stress and Strain Heuristics for a Layered Elastomeric Foam at Medium Impact Rates

September 14, 2020
Author(s)
Alexander Landauer, Jared C. Van Blitterswyk, Michael A. Riley, Aaron M. Forster
Impact mitigating materials (IMMs) are used to reduce injury or damage due to a blunt impact, which often occurs at high rates or energies. Innovation in IMMs and designs strategies are required for the development of safer protective equipment. A key
