Determination of necking zone using laser speckle

This paper presents a whole field laser speckle method for the measurement of the necking zone on the surface of metallic specimens. The method employs an expanded laser beam to illuminate the test object. Diffracted images are recorded on a high resolution photographic film and subsequently filtered using point wise filtering. The intensity of the diffracted halo is measured with a photo-sensor and the intensity distribution on the specimen yields information on the necking zone of the test object. The technique is applied to aflat tensile specimen with two circular notches at the central portion. Measured necking zone is compared with results obtained by other conventional methods.     

Non-contact strain measurement using metal foil gauges with the application of the laser speckle method

This paper presents a new method to measure cyclic strain with no contact using metal foil gauges assisted by the laser speckle method. When aluminium foil is pasted on a specimen and the specimen is loaded cyclically, slip bands are produced on the foil surface. There is a fixed relation between density of the slip bands and the strain amplitude or loading cycles depending on the foil material. Thus the fatigue strain of the base metal can be estimated by observing the surface change of the metal foil by the slip bands at a constant number of loading cycles. The method presented in this paper is intended to make a non-contacting strain measurement by the application of the laser speckle technique for the detection of the surface change. This method is based on observation of the changes in a laser speckle pattern depending on the surface roughness and surface property changes of the foil caused by fatigue. The laser speckle pattern can be analysed automatically and quantitatively using an image processing system.     

Measurement of Y-notch tip plastic zone by the laser speckle technique

This paper presents a laser speckle method for the measurement of plastic zone ahead of a Y-notch tip on metallic specimens. The method employs an unexpanded laser beam to illuminate the test object. Diffracted images are captured on a ground glass and recorded using a CCD camera. The recorded images were digitised and subsequently analysed on a personal computer. The plastic strain at the notch tip was correlated with its corresponding speckle image using a recently proposed parameter known as the integrated peak spectral intensity coefficient. Specimens containing Y-notches of various angles were tested and the resu Its compared well with that predicted by theory.

Inegrated autocorrelation method for plastic strain determination

This paper presents an integrated autocorrelation method for the measurement of plastic deformation in metallic materials. The method employs a laser beam to illuminate the test objects. The diffracted images are digitised, recorded and processed on a computer based image processing system. The subsequent speckle pattern correlation analysis yields information on the surface deformation of the test objects. The technique is applied to brass tensile specimens and it is found that the integrated autocorrelation coefficient is linearly proportional to the plastic shear strain. For the range of plastic strain measured the error involved would be less than 10%.     

High resolution speckle interferometry using virtual speckle pattern produced by information of deformation process

A high resolution new fringe analysis method for ESPI with only one camera is proposed by using features of speckle interferometry in a deformation process of a measured object. The profile of intensity of each speckle of the speckle patterns in the deformation process is analyzed by the Hilbert transform. A virtual speckle pattern for creating a carrier fringe image is produced artificially by using the information of profiles of intensities of speckles. The deformation map of the measured object can be detected by the virtual speckle pattern in an operation based on the spatial fringe analysis method. Experimental results show that the difference between the results by the new and the ordinary methods is 0.1 rad as standard deviation. From the results, it is confirmed that the high resolution measurement can be performed by this method the same as compared to the ordinary measurement method which needs to employ three speckle patterns.     

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry based on spatial information using only two sheets of speckle patterns

Abstract

Speckle interferometry is an important deformation measurement method for an object with a rough surface. In this paper, a novel fringe analysis method is proposed that uses a new optical system, which uses a plane wave as the reference beam of the speckle interferometer. When the optical system is employed in fringe analysis, the deformation information and the bias components of the speckle patterns are clearly separated in the frequency domain. Therefore, the deformation information can be readily extracted using a Fourier transform, which gives a pair of real and imaginary components concerning the information. The specklegram is calculated using such a pair of components, and the phase map is obtained from the specklegram. Experimental results confirmed that the resolution power of this measurement method is higher than 1/261 of the wavelength of the light source of the optical system.     

Analysis of loaded mandible behaviour using speckle pattern interferometry

Orthognatic surgeons have a requirement for the measurement of stress distribution within the human lower jaw, in order to aid and improve surgical procedures. Validation of finite element modelling data describing mandible behaviour which has previously been attempted using holographic interferometry. Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI), a whole field non-contact optical technique has been applied to the study of a dry human mandible under load. This technique improves over previous methods by generating discrete quantitative displacement and strain components. The optical analysis of a dry mandible is described, with the results viewed in 'real time' as progressively greater forces were applied on the lower border of the chin, in the upwards (impact) direction with biting boundary conditions included in the experimental model. This has shown that the bone tissue holding the front teeth transmits the forces impacting on the chin, which are absorbed by the basal bone of the mandible.

Fringe analysis method for electronic speckle pattern interferometry using only speckle patterns before and after deformation

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry is employed in many industrial fields as a useful deformation measurement method. However, two speckle patterns obtained before and after the deformation are necessary for measurement. Furthermore, at least three speckle patterns are required for high resolution measurement using ordinary fringe scanning technologies. In this paper, a novel method that can measure high speed deformations using a limited number of speckle patterns without using high speed cameras is proposed. The method enables application to dynamic deformation analysis because the method involves analysis using only two speckle patterns obtained before and after the deformation. A novel optical system that can record some spatial information into each speckle is set up for the method. In experimental results, it is confirmed that the out-of-plane deformation measurement can be precisely performed by the method and that the resolution power is almost equivalent to that of the ordinary method.     

Axial loading verification method for small bones using carrier fringes in speckle pattern interferometry

A computerized system for real-time displacement visualization using carrier fringes in an electronic speckle in-plane sensitive interferometer allows force calibration for micro-displacement analysis of rat bones and verification of axial loading conditions. Once the force has been calibrated and the load is applied along the bone axis, the difference-of-phase method is used to obtain the phase map, which after phase unwrapping, allows the evaluation of the displacements produced by the bone deformation. The proposed method avoids common loading mistakes using first carrier fringes to assure that the loads are within the measuring capabilities of the in-plane interferometer and the Carré phase-stepping method to compensate for linear phase step miscalibration. The experimental results obtained with the calibration of loading forces and axial loading verification show the advantages of the system proposed here over a system which uses a cantilever configuration to make a similar bone deformation analysis.

Denoising in digital speckle pattern interferometry using fast discrete curvelet transform

In digital speckle pattern interferometry, the denoising of speckle fringe patterns is of vital importance for quantitative extraction of phase distribution. A filtering method of fast discrete curvelet transform based on weighted average thresholding technique is proposed in this paper for noise removal in speckle fringe patterns. Both computer-simulated and experimental digital speckle pattern interferometry fringe patterns are adopted to evaluate the performance of the proposed filtering method. In addition, a widely used and representative filtering method, windowed Fourier filter, is introduced for making a comparison and validation in the image processing effect, and the parameter of peak signal noise ratio is also used for assessment of denoising effect. It is shown from the filtered results that the filtering method of fast discrete curvelet transform is effecitve to remove speckle noises and simultaneously preserve fringe structure information.

Digital speckle pattern interferometry using spatial phase shifting: influence of intensity and phase gradients

Spatial phase shifting technique in digital speckle pattern interferometry (DSPI) and digital shearography (DS) provides the phase information due to the object displacement from two images, one stored before and other after loading. The technique needs a carrier fringe system. The double aperture mask in front of the imaging system is one of the methods for introducing the spatial carrier frequency for phase evaluation. The size of the apertures and their separation are important criteria to obtain appropriate phase shift/column within the desired size of the speckle for phase retrieval. The assumptions of constant intensity and phase on adjacent pixels of the camera while calculating phase in spatial phase shifting (SPS) are not met as the speckled object wave contains intensity and phase gradients, resulting in distortions in the calculated phase profiles. In this paper we discuss a strategy to overcome these problems. The contrast of the correlation fringe obtained using this approach is much improved. It also eliminates the distortion in the unwrapped phase map like wave ripples. The experimental results on an edge clamped circular plate loaded at the center are presented.     

Hybrid method combining orthogonal projection Fourier transform profilometry and laser speckle imaging for 3D visualization of flow profile

This paper reports a straightforward technique for three-dimensional (3D) visualization of a flow profile by a hybrid algorithm combining Fourier transform orthogonal fringe projection and laser speckle imaging techniques. The use of orthogonal projection aims to suppress the zero order allowing surface reconstruction with high spatial resolution and accuracy while analyzing the intensity fluctuations of diffuse backscattered laser light providing 2D flow information. Once both are achieved, 3D flow visualization can be displayed. The method is experimentally validated first with a plastic tube filled with scattering liquid (milk) running at various controlled flow rates and then with the tube embedded under scattering layers (chicken breast) of varying thickness. The system includes a single, common camera, a commercial projector (profilometry channel), a laser light source (flow channel), and a computer station. In addition, orthogonal projection processing was combined with Hilbert transform, increasing the visualization and resolution of the measured flow profile.

Potential ambiguity in the determination of the plastic strain range component in LCF testing

Most low cycle fatigue testing is carried out under total strain controlled limits and the plastic strain component is determined retrospectively after the test by considering the hysteresis loop closest to the mid-life. Currently there is no universal method for determining the plastic strain range.

It is demonstrated that variability in excess of 30% can arise in the values of the plastic strain range calculated according to the different methods adopted by current Standards and commercial testing software.
