Evaluation of error in the measurement of displacement vector components by using electronic speckle pattern interferometry

Abstract

We report on the errors obtained by comparing in- and out-of-plane displacements calculated from the sensitivity matrix with all its components, and when only the component from the largest contributing of each one of the three interferometers is considered. Divergent illumination is considered in the evaluation of sensitivity vector to measure displacement vector components. This analysis is performed for a flat elastic target which is loaded in the x-direction and after in the z-direction. The technique applied is electronic speckle pattern interferometry.
