Abstract

Whole-field contour maps of shear strains γ xy are derived from displacement fields obtained by moiré interferometry with 2400 ℓ/mm (60,960 ℓ/in.). Cross-derivatives of displacements are obtained by mechanical differentiation. They are summed by graphical additive moiré. The high sensitivity of moiré interferometry permits quantitative analysis in the small-strain domain.
