Digital Shearography Theory and Application of Digital Speckle Pattern Shearing Interferometry

The ever-increasing requirements of product quality and reliability demand more efficient measuring and testing methods. Developed in the past decade, shearography--also called speckle pattern shearing interferometry--is a coherent-optical measuring and testing method, similar to holographic interferometry. This book describes the development of second-generation digital shearography, which is especially effective in nondestructive testing, strain measurement, and vibration analysis due to its relative insensitivity to environmental disturbances.Steinchen, Wolfgang is the author of 'Digital Shearography Theory and Application of Digital Speckle Pattern Shearing Interferometry' with ISBN 9780819441102 and ISBN 0819441104.
