Abstract

An analysis of the out-of-plane shearing interferometer has been performed which shows that production of in-plane strain partial derivatives is possible, which are not affected by out-of-plane displacement function components. The in-plane data are represented as subtraction correlation fringes. This interferometer employs a single diverging illumination beam and is applicable to object plane stress and plane strain loading conditions. The interferometer was tested and compared using a compact tension crack specimen and the results are correlated with finite element software predictions of strain distributions across modelled specimens. This experimental validation was chosen because we had an existing test rig and finite element models which had been independently verified.

    Since shearography was first introduced in 1973 [1,2], it has become a well-established tool for non-destructive testing [3], vibration analysis [4], curvature measurement [5–7], and full-field measurement of displacement derivatives [8,9]. Shearography can measure not only the spatial derivatives of the out-of-plane displacement, or slopes of deformation [10], but also the spatial derivatives of the in-plane displacement, or surface strains [11–13]. Unlike holography, which measures the displacement, shearography provides a direct measurement of the displacement derivative.
