Review of Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry(ESPI) for Three Dimensional Displacement Measurement

Three dimensional（3D） displacements, which can be translated further into 3D strain, are key parameters tor design, manufacturing and quality control. Using different optical setups, phase-shift methods, and algorithms, several different 3D electronic speckle pattern interferometry（ESPl） systems for displacement and strain measurements have been achieved and commercialized. This paper provides a review of the recent developments in ESPI systems for 3D displacement and strain measurement. After an overview of the fundamentals of ESP! theory, temporal phase-shift, and spatial phase-shift techniques, 3D deformation measurements by the temporal phase-shift ESPI system, which is suited well for static measurement, and by the spatial phase-shift ESPI system, which is particularly useful for dynamic measurement, are discussed. For each method, the basic theory, a brief derivation and different optical layouts are presented. The state of art application, potential and limitation of the ESPI systems are shown and demonstrated.

Simultaneous 2D in-plane deformation measurement using electronic speckle pattern interferometry with double phase modulations

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry（ESPI） and digital speckle pattern interferometry are wellestablished non-contact measurement methods. They have been widely used to carry out precise deformation mapping. However, the simultaneous two-dimensional（2D） or three-dimensional（3D） deformation measurements using ESPI with phase shifting usually involve complicated and slow equipment. In this Letter, we solve these issues by proposing a modified ESPI system based on double phase modulations with only one laser and one camera. In-plane normal and shear strains are obtained with good quality. This system can also be developed to measure 3D deformation, and it has the potential to carry out faster measurements with a highspeed camera.

Image processing of ESPI based on measurement the welding dynamic displacement fields

A dual-beam electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) system was adopted to get speckle patterns for the measurement of welding dynamic displacement fields. The mathematical model of this system was described, based on which methods of the ESPI pattern image processing were discussed. Gray transformation and histogram equalization were used to enhance the contrast of speckle patterns. A discrete cosine image processing method was carried out and an exponent low-pass filter was chosen to reduce multiplicative noise in speckle patterns. Speckle grain noise can be eliminated effectively after these processes.

Pitting Kinetics of 304 Stainless Steel Using ESPI Detection Technique

The electronic speckle pattern interferometer was used to in situ monitor the pitting corrosion of 304 stainless steel at anodic polarization. The pitting current and pitting current density of a single pit were obtained. The pit growth was controlled by the corrosion products diffusion. The pit morphology was observed by a scanning electron microscope. The results showed that the pit was dish shaped, and the geometric parameters and pit growth time conformed to the function of Y = A ＋ B1t ＋ B2t2 ＋ B3t3.

A DEVELOPED FULL-FIELD FEM ANALYSIS COMBINED WITH ESPI FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF DEFECT EVOLUTION IN POLYMER FILMS

A full-field finite element method （FEM） analysis combined with electronic speckle pattern interferometry （ESPI） measurement was developed to investigate defect evolution in polymer films. Different from the previous reports, which only compare the ESPI experimental and FEM simulated results at several points or lines, herein the full-field FEM results were exported, subtracted with a continuous distribution. By choosing proper parameters and number of substeps, the simulated and experimental results showed excellent correspondence. Furthermore, the displacement fields vertical to the tensional direction were also presented, and the strain field was preliminarily evaluated. The current method of combination of ESPI and FEM allows for capturing the experimental fringe maps to validate and optimize FEM results simulated, and would give a higher security to structural and mechanical analysis of polymeric materials.
