The use of a coherent gradient sensor in dynamic mixed-mode fracture mechanics experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, coherent gradient sensing (CGS) was used to quantify mixed-mode crack tip deformation fields accurately under dynamic loading conditions, and it was shown that a shift from primarily mode II deformation to primarily mode I deformation occurs.

Analysis of coherent gradient sensing (CGS) by fourier optics

TL;DR: In this paper, a more precise analysis based on Fourier optics is presented, which is interpreted by means of wave optics, using the Fraunhofer approximation and the paraxial theory of lenses.

Electronic speckle pattern shearing interferometer using holographic gratings

TL;DR: In this article, a holographic grating placed in front of the ground glass screen is used to shear the two images and to introduce phase stepping, and two identical holographic gratings separated by a disentance introduce shearing and the distance between two gratings can be used to control the size of shearing.

On the sensitivity of Coherent Gradient Sensing: Part I—A theoretical investigation of accuracy in fracture mechanics applications

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical comparison of the accuracy in interpreting fringe data as gradients (geometric interpretation) and finite differences (physical interpretation) of deformations associated with a K-dominant stress field near the tip of a stationary crack is conducted.

Double grating interferometer with variable lateral shear

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified Ronchi interferometer using two identical gratings is described, which is suitable for the measurement of small, zonal aberrations, since the shear can be changed continuously by rotating one grating with respect to the other, while the direction and magnitude of the tilt between the sheared wavefronts can be varied by adjusting the distances of the two gratings from the centre of the gaussian sphere.
