本研究應用數位影像相關 (Digital Image Correlation，DIC) 法，透過單軸向拉伸試驗，檢測Gynemesh、Marlex和Mersilene三種人工網膜(Artificial Mesh)的變形和機械性質，並與醫生合作進行活體動物實驗，將三種人工網膜植入兔子體內，於不同時期犧牲兔子，取出與兔子腹部筋膜結合的人工網膜進行拉伸試驗，且導入數位影像相關法分析試片之應變值，探討人工網膜植入兔子體內後機械性質的變化，期望有助於人工網膜在醫學臨床上的使用。
本研究將DIC法系統應用於多孔性結構之人工網膜與生物組織之兔子筋膜的變形量測，並由二維影像相關法進展到三維影像相關法，獲得較準確的分析結果。
