    Area of Science:

    • Optical Metrology
    • Solid Mechanics
    • Laser Speckle Interferometry

    Background:

    • Laser speckle patterns arise from coherent light scattering off rough surfaces.
    • Deformation analysis is crucial for understanding material behavior under stress.
    • Previous methods for strain measurement have limitations in certain applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a two-dimensional analysis of double-exposed laser speckle patterns.
    • To describe the influence of aperture illumination on speckle pattern formation.
    • To present methods for determining the three Cartesian components of strain from speckle data.

    Main Methods:

    • Illuminating a plane surface with laser light and capturing double-exposed speckle patterns before and after in-plane deformation.
    • Developing a whole-field approach analogous to classical in-plane moiré methods.
    • Developing a pointwise approach for strain component determination.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully delineated three Cartesian components of strain from speckle patterns.
    • Demonstrated the validity of both whole-field and pointwise methods through quantitative examples.
    • Highlighted the role of the aperture illumination function in speckle analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented methods provide a robust way to quantify in-plane strain using laser speckle.
    • The analogy to moiré methods offers a new perspective on speckle pattern analysis.
    • This technique is valuable for experimental mechanics and material science research.
