Techniques for Measuring Displacement Fields of Deformed Bodies Using Holographic Interferometry.

Abstract

Holographic interferometry has reached a state of practical application wherein many different structural deformations have been recorded. Some of these recordings can be interpreted by casual observation while others require a detailed mathematical analysis to convert fringe patterns into displacement data. A few investigators have proposed different mathematical models for fringe formation resulting from surface displacements. Most of these models, however, do not adequately represent realistic structures. The report is concerned with examining these approaches and devising a systematic plan of investigating displacement determination for complex structures. (Author)
