The basic principles of the measurement method
are interferometry and correlation techniques
Interferometry is determination of fractional relative phase difference
between light waves traversing different paths. Phenomena which can
be measured are those which influence the phase of the light beams. In
practice this is e. g. surface deformation

The basic principles of the measurement method
are interferometry and correlation techniques
Digital Image Correlation is a data analysis method, which uses a proprietary
mathematical correlation method to analyse digital image data taken while samples
are subjected to mechanical stresses. Consecutive image captures taken during the
testing phase will “show” a change in surface characteristics as the specimen is
effected by the mechanical stresses imposed upon it.

Non-destructive testing is the common use of shearography. The defects
become visible on measuring their inhomogeneous deformation
gradients. Depending on the spatial distribution of deformation the
defect or the structure itself can be characterised. The rotor
measurements show a dis-bond (left), a crack (right) and a structural
transition (centre). Compare fringe density and distribution.

Dynamic excitation is a special technique of isi-sys for non destructive
testing. During the sweep the vibration modes are visible in real-time. The
example (left) shows selected images of C-Si-C composite (sweep 1-
20kHz) with an in service dis-bond in the middle. Further data processing
enables determination the mechanical properties of the defect area.

Impact defect detection in carbon fibre composites
(CFRP) by dynamic excitation
The defects are prepared by impacts of different energies. The defects become
visible by dynamic excitation at their natural frequencies as show below.

Example of NDT by dynamic excitation applied on GLARE
The examples shows a glare panel (size 500x500, see below) with de-bondings
(Ø60mm) prepared by Airbus Bremen. Glare is a combination of Aluminium plates
with composite layers used for the new Airbus A380F.
The defects (dis-bonds or delaminations) are prepared in different depth between
the aluminum plates. The defects become visible by dynamic excitation at their
natural frequencies as show below by the supperposed measurement results.

Conclusions
Benefits:
Contact less
Global method,
Good sensitivity,
Real time inspection,
Quicker than most of the NDI methods,
Working on all type of materials and structures,
Numerical acquisition give rise to efficient follow up,
New type of damage are now detectable without opening the structure…
The keys of the efficiency are in the selection of the loading and the implementation
