SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This practical guide to holographic interferometry details applications of this method for solving fundamental problems in traditional and new areas of applied mechanics. The topics treated include measurement of elastic and plastic deformations, vibrations, stresses, contact pressure, surface wear, relief and erosion. Of particular interest is the contactless and nondestructive determination of displacements and deformations on the surface of a sample or structural element.
