2026 SEM Annual Conference and Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics
June 1–4, 2026 | Hilton Norfolk The Main | Norfolk, VA
Booth 109
Santa Cruz, CA – Hadland Imaging will be exhibiting at the 2026 SEM Annual Conference in Norfolk, Virginia. See us in Booth 109 – we’ll be showcasing the latest in ultra high-speed visible, infrared and DIC (digital image correlation) imaging solutions – Shimadzu HYPERVISION HPV-X2 & HPV-X3 ultra high-speed video cameras and Shimadzu universal precision testing machines, Phantom high-speed video cameras, Mikrotron Mini2, AMOtronics data acquisition systems, REL LED lighting solutions and more gear for you to get the job done right.
The SEM Annual Conference and Exposition focuses on all areas of research and applications pertaining to experimental mechanics, and has evolved to encompass the latest technologies supporting optical methods; additive & advanced manufacturing; dynamic behavior of materials; biological systems; micro-and nano mechanics; fatigue and fracture; composite and multifunctional materials; residual stress; inverse problem methodologies; thermomechanics; and time dependent materials.
This broad focus on experimental mechanics includes topics in digital image and digital volume correlation techniques, speed impacts to shock and blast, durability and extreme environmental effects, model/experiment integration, materials for advanced manufacturing, damage detection and non destructive testing, tools spanning various length scales and new experimental techniques and methods to address real-life applications, research and collaborative efforts across all disciplines complementing experimental mechanics.
About SEM
The Society for Experimental Mechanics is composed of international members from academia, government, and industry who are committed to interdisciplinary application, research and development, education, and active promotion of experimental methods to: (a) increase the knowledge of physical phenomena; (b) further the understanding of the behavior of materials, structures and systems; and (c) provide the necessary physical basis and verification for analytical and computational approaches to the development of engineering solutions.
