  • http://www.eng.ox.ac.uk/~ftgwww/SGresearch.html
    A description of the moiré interferometry technique and apparatus, including use in three examples: residual stresses in composites; strain in the adhesive layer of a lap joint; and a butt welded joint.
  • http://omrl.me.binghamton.edu/Shadow%20Moire.htm
    Provides a introduction to moiré, shadow moiré, giving some theoretical background including equations, a description of the experimental set-up and some references.
  • http://www.eng.clemson.edu/~lomep/
    In their Current Capabilities page there are detailed descriptions of a number of experimental techniques including geometric moiré, moiré interferometry, microscopic moiré interferometry and shadow moiré giving method specifications such as typical values of sensitivity, field of view etc.
  • http://www.packaging.buffalo.edu/projects.html
