Abstract
An optical method of strain measurement is described which possesses numerous advantages over conventional and holographic interferometry. The method consists of imaging the coherently illuminated object by a lens, and double-exposing a photographic plate in a misfocused image plane before and after deformation of the object. The processed photographic plate or 'specklegram' is subsequently Fourier-filtered to provide fringe patterns representing derivatives of surface displacements with respect to any desired direction and with variable and controllable sensitivity.
