Because the sensitivity of shearography is determined by its shearing direction, aeolotropic defects could be difficult to detect in nondestructive testing (NDT) using a digital shearography system with a single shearing direction. We report an adjustable aperture multiplexing spatial phase-shift digital shearography system for simultaneous measurement of displacement derivatives in three directions. By setting the aperture parameters properly, three spatial carrier frequencies are produced within the speckle pattern, and the information of three interferograms can be separated in the frequency domain. Phase maps of the three shearograms can be obtained by applying a windowed inverse Fourier transform, which enables simultaneous measurement of the displacement derivative. The system is suitable for NDT with a dynamic load. The capability of the triple-directional spatial phase-shift digital shearography system is described by theoretical discussions as well as experiments.
Many works around the digital speckle correlation (DSC) are to improve the computational efficiency and measurement accuracy in recent years. This work aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of DSC for both single-point and full-field points used in mechanical properties test of materials. For this purpose, first, a subpixel initial guess for the inverse compositional Gauss–Newton algorithm (IC-GN) with the first-order shape function is introduced for single-point image registration. Then, with the aid of strategy of subset image edge extend interpolation (SIEEI), the efficiency and accuracy of full-field displacement and deformation measurement are improved simultaneously. The SIEEI is employed to reduce mean squared difference errors caused by traditional bicubic interpolation algorithm. Comparative studies between the traditional IC-GN algorithm and the proposed algorithms are presented using simulated speckle images and CCD images. The proposed method achieves more executive efficiency and more accuracy for single-point and full-field points image registration. The computational efficiency of the proposed algorithms increases 7.5% for full-field registration using CCD images. The mean of squared difference errors of the SIEEI method is less than the traditional bicubic interpolation algorithm. The presented approach shows great potentials for challenging application, such as mechanical properties test of materials.
This paper describes a method of non-contact distance measurement in high temperature environments by video extensometer. In order to detect the distance of a pair of marked lines on the surface of the specimen, dual fitting algorithms are proposed. The first fitting method which is least squares curve fitting utilizes hyperbolic tangent function to fit a serial of discrete gray level points to a curve. So a set of edge points on the marked line was located. The second is to use orthogonal linear least squares method to fit two sets of edge points to two lines respectively. After the two lines are located, the distance of two lines can be computed. A video extensometer system which enables a high temperature distance measurement up to 1200°C is presented and demonstrated by experimental measurements.
