Peculiarities of retrieving the relief and displacement fields of the surface using the Twyman–Green interferometer
摘要
The analysis of surface interferograms obtained using the Twyman–Green interferometer confirms their effectiveness in solving problems in fracture mechanics and solid body deformation. Such interferograms are successfully used to monitor the surface relief of structural material samples, the displacement and deformation fields of structural elements made of metals and composites, and to detect hidden defects within them. However, solving each problem requires appropriate adjustments to the optical scheme and the interferometer’s design, as well as the use of suitable algorithms for interferogram processing. Recommendations for using the Twyman–Green interferometer to reproduce surface relief and displacement fields, as well as for other similar tasks, are presented.
