Study of thin plate bending using the method of holographic moiré

Abstract

The development of the technique of applying high-frequency metallized working images to products made of any materials led to the emergence of the holographic moiré method. This method is based on recording holograms in counter beams and is traditionally used to study the displacements in the working raster plane. This paper shows that if, when holograms are recorded, the registering medium is placed at a considerable distance from the working screen surface, then the recorded optical information makes it possible to determine the inclination angles of the surface under study. We present the results of a study of bending of a thin, round, rigidly clamped plate. The plate was subjected to hydrostatic bending. A good agreement between the experimental data and the theoretical solution is obtained.
