Digital image correlation (DIC) is a popular photomechanics method for deformation measurement. The conventional subset-based DIC method obtains the displacement vectors at the subset centers, but cannot calculate the deformation on the specimen edges, which may contain very useful information because specimens usually have greater deformation on edges, especially on curved edges due to stress concentration. In this study, the capability of a mesh-based DIC method using 8-node quadrilateral elements (Q8-mesh-DIC) in boundary deformation measurement was investigated and highlighted for specimens with non-uniform deformation. The results were compared with those obtained by some conventional subset-based DIC methods, and the accuracy of the boundary deformation measurement was verified through simulated and real experiments. The Q8-mesh-DIC appears to be more suitable for the boundary deformation measurement of non-uniform deformation fields.
