We describe a system for real-time, full-field vibrometry, incorporating features of high-speed electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) and laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV). Based on a 2D interferometric sensor array, comprising 16×16 parallel illumination and detection channels, the matrix laser vibrometer (MLV), captures full-field data instantaneously, without beam scanning. The instrument design draws on the advantages of scale offered by modern telecommunications fiber optic and digital electronics. The resulting architecture, comprising a compact measurement probe linked by fiber optic umbilical to a remote electronics unit, facilitates practical application to the full-field study of transient vibrations and rapid non-destructive inspection of composite materials.

AbstractThe construction and operation of electronic speckle pattern interferometer (ESPI) applied to single-inserted sandwich plates have been earliest presented in this paper. Proposed ESPI has advantages of full-field and non-destructive testing, which can measures microscopic out-of-plane displacement in the elastic region without wasting specimen. For validation purpose, the finite element method (FEM) analysis was conducted. By comparing the results of ESPI and FEM displacement fields around the inserts that a convincing agreement is revealed. The effect of potting material diameter on the displacement of single-inserted sandwich plates was obtained by the ESPI and FEM.

The assessment of structural damage location in composite honeycomb sandwich panels is here pursued by means of a complete experimental non-destructive approach on a pre-damaged sample. In the experiments proposed full field displacement maps were acquired by means of optical non-contact Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) technology [1, 2], in order to obtain high spatial definition and locate small defects on the sample, like debondings, material separations, voids, cracks and delaminations. When dealing with holographic/speckle interferometry it is important to find the stressing technique able to produce singularities in the state of the object surface. Four different loading approaches were taken to detect the flaws: acoustic, thermal, static and harmonic excitation. The displacement maps acquired depict with high accuracy the inhomogeneous local behavior of the structure induced by the defects. Results are reported from the different loading approaches and discussed in detail.

The development of a nondestructive, full-field, quantitative optical technique, and its feasibility to study dynamic deformations of opaque and diffusively reflecting solids under transient loads, are discussed. The technique involves recording a sequence of dynamically changing two-beam speckle interference patterns (also called holographic speckle patterns) of a rapidly deforming body which is doubly illuminated by a laser light source. The time sequence of speckle patterns is recorded by means of a high-speed camera on an ultra-sensitive 35-mm film. The developed negatives are then digitized by a CCD camera into an image processing system. An initial speckle pattern corresponding to the undeformed state of the object is taken as the reference, and subsequent speckle patterns are digitally subtracted (reconstructed) from it to produce time- varying fringe patterns corresponding to the relative deformation of the test object. In order to gain confidence that the technique can be used to record truly transient deformation, it is tested here on a vibrating plate at resonance, thereby obtaining the evolution of the fringe pattern during 1/2 cycle of deformation corresponding to 160 μs.

Abstract This paper reports on the application of Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) technique in vibration measurement of turbine blading. Using the time-averaged mode of ESPI, the first six modes of a turbocharger blade with airfoil profile were identified. The effect of the complicated profile of the blade was established by studying simplified model blades. Coupled modes were identified and successfully separated. Experimental results are compared with those obtained using finite element analysis.

Digital Speckle Pattern Interferometry ( DSPI for short ) method has become one of the most practical worthy techniques for speckle measuring methods with the high-speed development of optic-electronical technique, image processing technology and electronic computer technology. There is a lot of advantages about it, such as uncomplicated operation, non-contacting, advanced automatic level, measurement on-line and extensive using. In this thesis, the displacement variation of the induced strain field for driving by piezoelectric ceramics can be measured by using this method. Thus we can come to a conclusion that digital speckle pattern interferometry is a new measuring method for extracting small-signal. It also provides a powerfully theoretical and experimental platform for study of automated, full-field, high-precision and nondestructive measurement.

A phase-shifting algorithm, called a (4,4) algorithm, which takes four phase-shifting interferograms before a specimen is deformed and four interferograms after a specimen is deformed, is presented first. This method is most widely used for phase extraction. Its drawback limited it to be used in dynamic measurements. Also shown is an algorithm called a (4,1) algorithm that takes four phase-shifting interferograms before a specimen is deformed and one interferogram after a specimen is deformed. Because a high-speed camera can be used to record the dynamic interferogram of the specimen, this algorithm has the potential to retain the phase-shifting capability for ESPI in dynamic measurements. The quality of the phase map obtained using (4,1) algorithm is quite lower compared to using (4,4) algorithm. In order to obtain high-quality phase map in dynamic measurements, a direct-correlation algorithm was integrated with the (4,1) algorithm to form DC-(4,1) algorithm which is shown to improve significantly the quality of the phase maps. The theoretical and experimental aspects of this newly developed technique, which can extend ESPI to areas such as high-speed dynamic measurements, are examined in detail.
