Abstract

A simple computer-interfaced optical system for measuring the dynamic-local-buckling deformation of thin-walled metal structural-plate elements is described in this paper with two sets of experimental results. The major advantage of this system is its simplicity and economy as well as its speedy automated process for data scanning, acquisition, and analyses by using a microcomputer.
