EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL STUDY OF WAVE PROPAGATION AND VIBRATION PROBLEMS

Abstract

The work was aimed toward the further development of the birefringent coating technique and the construction of a high speed camera and light source to be used in conjunction with the coating. The over-all purpose was to study the deformation of structures, whether they be made of metal or other material, when they are subjected to dynamic loading causing perhaps permanent deformations. With this technique one should be able to observe the waves progressing through the metal structure, whether these waves be elastic or plastic.
