Publisher's Synopsis
Advancement of Optical Methods in Experimental Mechanics: Proceedings of the 2013 Annual Conference on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the third volume of eight from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on a wide range of optical methods ranging from traditional photoelasticity and interferometry to more recent DIC and DVC techniques, and includes papers in the following general technical research areas:
Optical metrology and displacement measurements at different scales
Digital holography and experimental mechanics
Optical measurement systems using polarized light
Surface topology
Digital image correlation
Optical methods for MEMS and NEMS
Three-dimensional imaging and volumetric correlation
Imaging methods for thermomechanics applications
3D volumetric flow measurement
Appliedphotoelasticity
Optical residual stress measurement techniques
Advances in imaging technologies
