A fringe carrier is preset in the static state of the specimen and the dynamic in-plane displacements are recorded as the modulation to the frequency of the carrier fringes when the specimen is loaded by impact. According to a modulating criterion developed from the modulation degree, the fringes of the transient moire patterns keep monotonical in orders so that they can be automatically encoded in grey levels by a digital image system. The moire orders purely caused by dynamic loadings are evaluated by subtracting the grey-value of the unmodulated carrier image from that of the modulated carrier images encoded by their orders. With the subtracted moire orders the strain components can be obtained, and, correspondingly, the histograms of dynamic displacement moire images are shown with order variation by image-difference.展开更多

The digital-strain-field-image expresses the strain values directly by its grey levels. The digital-strain-field-image can be obtained by making a differentiation for the digital moire pattern and doing a simple division operation. This image not only gives the visual strain field distribution, but also gives the strain values of every point. This method is simple and applicable and has satisfactory accuracy.展开更多
