In this study, a new experimental method for measuring the creep of pipeline using moire interferometry was proposed. Curved-surface-deformed grating replicating technique was combined with the high-temperature-resistant grating and moire interferometry method, and was applied to measure the creep of a 475°C main steam pipeline in the Qinghe Power Plant for 3600 h. The measuring principle and experimental techniques are described. The measuring error and experimental results are discussed in detail.

Residual stress distribution has been determined in spot welds, which are generally used to join mild steel sheets. Various spot weld configurations were investigated using the full-field, experimental, optical technique of high sensitivity moire´ interferometry. These stresses were found to be in the range 250–300 MPa (tensile) in the center and decreased to 40–100 MPa (tensile) at the edge of the weld nugget. Low cycle fatigue loading of the spot weld caused the residual stress to drop in the weld center by about 30 percent and increase at the edges by as much as 100 percent.
