A
substantial part of the LOME activities is devoted to R&D
projects under contract. This contracts are held under R&D
National and International programs.
The
main techniques used in the laboratory are as follows:
- Holographic
Interferometry
- Speckle
Techniques
- ESPI
(TV Holography), in plane and out of plane
- Shearography
- Pulsed
ESPI and Pulsed Shearography
- Image
Processing
- Heterodyne
Techniques
- Moiré
Holography
- Structural
Intensity
|
- Photoelasticity
- 3D
topograpphy with structured light
- Computer
Generated Holograms (CGH)
- Optical
Pattern Recognition with SLM
- Electric
Strain Gauge Analisys
- Finite
Element Methods (FEM)
- Non
destructive techniques (NDT)
- High
Split Hopkinson Bar
- PZT
control of shape and damping
