Combined projection moire and reflection photoelasticity

Wing of the plane

A combined instrument for reflection photoelasticity and fringe projection is available which allows the shape of objects to be measured and photoelastic measurements to made and corrected for three-dimensional effects.

A fringe projection system allows shape and deformation to be evaluated from single images using phase-shifting techniques.  The photograph shows a 1/10th scale model of an Airbus wing with a calibration cone.  Artificial heart valves have been studied with the same technique scaled down.
