Holographic Characterization for Ceramics. Part I.
Abstract
A study of the application of a group of pulsed ruby holographic techniques to a variety of ceramic materials testing problems was conducted. A pulsed ruby laser system capable of holographically imaging dynamic, large volume events is described. The system was coupled with holographic interferometry, microscopy, and correlation for application to residual stress measurements; property evaluation; crack propagation; nondestructive testing; long working distance microscopy; and large strain measurement. It is concluded that pulsed ruby holographic instrumentation will become a powerful, rugged, and sensitive tool for materials research and testing. (Author)
