Electro-Optical Pressure-Measurement Techniques
Abstract
An investigation of the potential application of electrooptical techniques for the measurement of surface pressure distributions was conducted, and several candidate methods were reviewed. The most promising technique utilizes the optical and mechanical properties of a reflective circular membrane. The characteristics of an ideal membrane are analyzed with respect to membrane tension, static pressure, and dynamic membrance response.
