The editors take a tutorial approach to introducing a wide range of full-field optical measurement techniques in solid mechanics. The textbook brings together contributions from researchers and experts around the world, beginning with a description of basic optics and gradually advancing to topics such as image processing, phase decoding, digital image correlation, interferometry and profilometry. It provides practical advice to help readers identify the appropriate techniques to use for various applications, as well as getting the best experimental performance from those applied techniques. Each chapter integrates solved problems within the text, as well as example problems to be solved by the reader. This could be a helpful reference for students at the graduate level, or for professional researchers and engineers.
