Abstract

A novel nondestructive testing (NDT) method is reported in which temporal evolution of the speckles in speckle interferometry is used to measure large object deformations. The basic principle of the method is that continuous object movement introduces fluctuations in the phase of the speckle and is recorded as intensity modulation. Acquiring a large number of frames of the object motion, the phase data for the whole object deformation are then retrieved by the Fourier transformation technique. The method is capable of measuring more than 100 μm in-plane and out-of-plane deformation with speckle interferometry and more than 500 μm for speckle shearing interferometry. The authors discuss the NDT results obtained with the three methods and make some relative comparisons of each.
