Error analysis of 3D shearography using finite-element modelling

This paper describes the development of an opto-mechanical simulation of a complete shearography system, including the shearography instrument, the samples and the test environment. This simulation is applied to the measurement of 3D strains in engineering samples. The samples are a cylinder loaded by internal pressure and a flat plate under...

2.5D virtual reality visualisation of shearography strain data from a canvas painting

Advanced measurement techniques for the structural diagnostics of artwork are increasingly providing more complex data that needs to be conveyed to conservators in a meaningful way. Holography and speckle interferometry based sensors are commonly used for this application and of these shearography is quite suitable for measurements outside the...

Multi-sensor evaluation of a wooden panel painting using terahertz imaging and shearography

Cultural heritage objects are increasingly being investigated using advanced non-destructive optical measurement techniques. Holographic and speckle interferometry based instrumentation allow dimensional measurement of objects at the tens of nanometer scale. For the structural diagnostics of artwork, double-exposure techniques are often used to...
