Advancement of Optical Methods in Experimental Mechanics, Volume 3: Conference Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Mechanics Series

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
