  • Publication number: 20050279172
    Abstract: A simple, relatively inexpensive, non-contacting, full-field (total visible surface) measurement and visualization methodology is described to measure the object motions and the object stretches and object distortions (deformations) during oscillation of an object. The method is capable of full-field measurement of 1D, 2D and/or 3D object motions and the associated object surface deformations on vibrating objects. The methodology is based on a combination of stroboscopic image ascuisition and/or controlled image exposure time with a synchronization system to acquire the images at appropriate times during periodic oscillation of an object; the periodicity of the applied excitation is used to mitigate the requirement for high speed imaging. Then, image matching procedures, such as 3D digital image correlation, are used with software to extract full-field object motions and surface deformations at each time of interest.
