Abstract

The holographic-moiré technique to obtain separate patterns for the Cartesian components of the displacement vector is extended to curved surfaces. An initial pattern which is often required for the observation of the displacement fringes is analyzed for this case. Criteria are established for the localization of this initial pattern to follow close to the contour of the object surface. A PVC pipe subjected to torsion demonstrates the proposed technique and, when analytical arguments are checked experimentally, a close correlation is observed.
