Moiré methods in strain measurement

  • Chapter
Optical Methods in Engineering Metrology

Part of the book series: Engineering Aspects of Lasers Series ((EALS))

Abstract

The evolution of optical techniques since the development of the laser has been particularly significant in the area of holography applied to engineering metrology. For various reasons, such techniques have not been extended to include large-scale applications outside the confines of a well-controlled laboratory environment, where the necessary coherence properties of the laser can be maintained adequately. In the sometimes hostile environmental conditions of an industrial test, techniques based on incoherent or white-light illumination are not so restricted and, unlike holographic interferometry, they can present information concerning in-plane displacements directly.
