Surface strain measurement using pulsed laser shearography with fibre-optic imaging bundles

This thesis describes the development of a shearography instrument for the quantitative measurement of surface strain on dynamic test objects. Shearography is a non-contact, full-field interferometric speckle technique used for the measurement of displacement gradient. It is often used in industry f...
