An Application of Holographic Interferometry to Gun Barrel Erosion.

Abstract

Real time holographic interferometry has recently been applied to many engineering areas. This study presents the development and investigation of a technique to predict gun barrel wear by examining the barrel erosion through the use of real time holographic interferometry. It was determined that the proposed technique was probably not feasible due to the extreme sensitivity of real time holography to any change in surface microstructures and due to the difficulty of precise relocation of the object. During investigation of the proposed technique, holographic data addressing the problem of general translation of an object was acquired and is also reported.
