The development of a hand-held optical diffraction strain gauge
thesis
posted on 2017-10-23, 08:39 authored by Christopher D. CreaseyThe measurement of strain is critical in many engineering design, test, and health
monitoring procedures. Despite the promise of non-contacting and remote strain
measurement, optical techniques have not been widely adopted by industry; the
preference being the use of electrical resistance strain gauges. This is due to the
perceived and real complexities of many optical techniques. [Continues.]
