Detection of defects in plates and diaphragms using a split-lens speckle-shearing interferometer

TLDR
In this paper, a speckle-shearing interferometer was used to examine diaphragms and plates with a split lens both for imaging and shearing functions, and it was found that the location, shape and size of the defect could be ascertained accurately under certain conditions.
Abstract
Diaphragms and plates were examined with a speckle-shearing interferometer which utilized a split lens both for imaging and shearing functions. It was found that the location, shape and size of the defect could be ascertained accurately under certain conditions. The experiments showed that the fringe pattern of a defective diaphragm under pressure loading could be simulated on a good diaphragm by subjecting it to a combined loading (pressure and a concentrated load) with the proper shear orientation. However, in extreme situations — not likely to occur in practice — a defect could behave as a mini diaphragm with an elastic boundary. Lens aberrations degraded the contrast of slope fringes considerably.

Speckle shear interferometry

TL;DR: In this article, a number of speckle shear methods and their applications to ndt are discussed and experiments using multiple apertures with custom-made optical elements have shown that in-plane displacement, slope and curvature patterns can be obtained by filtering through appropriate haloes.

Strain analysis by one-beam laser speckle interferometry. 2: Multiaperture method.

TL;DR: It is shown that the basic fringe-forming mechanism is no different from that of single-aperture recording, except that at the Fourier filtering stage the diffracted light energy is concentrated at the spatial frequencies admitted by the apertures.

Speckle shearing interferometry: a new method

TL;DR: The main methods of speckle shear interferometry include Michelson's interferometric arrangement, two or multiple apertures in conjunction with a lens and defocusing, and use of parallel plates and wedges in front of the lens with or without aperture.
