Nondestructive evaluation of transparent sheets using a full-field digital gradient sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
A full-field, non-contact, optical inspection tool for transparent materials is demonstrated. The technique is sensitive to refractive index and thickness variations caused by inhomogeneities and defects in an otherwise uniform sheet stock. The technique utilizes a 2D digital image correlation method to visualize and quantify angular deflections of light rays in two orthogonal directions to assess the uniformity. The principle of the method and its feasibility is demonstrated by visualizing the heat affected zone in a uniform borosilicate sheet sample. & 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Measurement of Orthogonal Stress Gradients Due to Impact Load on a Transparent Sheet using Digital Gradient Sensing Method
A full-field optical method called Digital Gradient Sensing (DGS) for measuring stress gradients due to an impact load on a planar transparent sheet is presented. The technique is based on the elasto-optic effect exhibited by transparent solids due to an imposed stress field causing angular deflections of light rays quantified using 2D digital image correlation method. The measured angular defl...
متن کاملShearography and Applications in Nondestructive Evaluation
This article reviews shearography and its applications in nondestructive testing. Shearography is a laser-based technique for full-field and non-contacting measurement of surface deformation (displacement or strains). Despite being a relative young technique, it has already received considerable industrial acceptance, in particular, for nondestructive testing. One major difference of shearograp...

Some of the field crops are severely affected by the Fusarium foot and root-rot in the west of Iran, Hamadan. Pathogenic Fusarium species are potentially severe destructive diseases and could be a major limiting factor for the cereals and potato production in this province. The purpose of this study was to determine the possible effect of soil solarization on the population dynamics of Fusarium...
