Basic Principles of ESPI
Full Field Method: Interferometry of Speckle
ESPI
(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry)
Laser
Wavelength = 0.6328 µm
Power = 30 mW
The area of study is lit by two beams coming for the same laser

Advantages of ESPI
Full field imaging of displacement
with a resolution of
10 nanometers
.
Measurements can be done on a variety of materials and the displacements
under
mechanical and thermal loads
can be measured along three perpendicular axis
without
contact with the sample.
ESPI offers the unique possibility to measure both, the
in-plane and out-of-plane
displacement without surface preparation
.
Drawbacks of ESPI
Drawbacks of ESPI
Complexity
,
high costs of optical setups
,
difficulties in aligning of the optical
elements
.
There are problems in working outside the laboratory especially due to high sensitivity of
ESPI devices against environmental
vibrations and daylight

Conclusion
ESPI Potential for characterizing damage in laminates
Displacement field on the edge of a cracked laminate
Typical profile the displacement for each ply
Displacement jumps (cracks) can be measured,
Loukil Mohamed 5thInternational Conference on Composites Testing 14thFebruary 2011
By changing the directions of laser beams, the COD is directly
measured; the comparison between COD and CSD is done in this
work.
The ratio COD/CSD depends on the material and on the ply
orientation.
Perspectives
Comparison with micromechanics models.
Investigate the effect of interaction between cracks
