Abstract
High-sensitivity grating interferometry is shown as the effective experimental tool in hybrid method stress analysis. The recent modifications in instrumentation aim in the analysis of transient phenomena, measurements on a standard loading machine with simultaneous analysis of in-plane u, v, and additionally out-of-plane w displacement fields, miniaturization of the system, as well as in full automatization of acquisition of data and analysis of the results. The automated grating interferometer is considered as a smart system with adaptive fringe pattern design and macro/micro-scale measurement ability. Fulfilling recent instrumentional requirements enlarges areas of application of grating interferometry. The most recent examples of application discussed in the paper include: fracture mechanics, residual stresses determination, relaxation processes, fatigue testing, local material constants measurement, testing of local phenomena in adhesive joints, surface layers, material grains interaction, and many others.
