In this paper, the plastic zone size ahead of the crack tip of DENT specimen and the crack growth length under cyclic loading were measured by ESPI system. These results of the plastic zone size measured by ESPI system were compared with the plastic zone size proposed by Irwin. The results of tile crack growth length measured by it were also compared with them measured by the image analysis system. It is confirmed that it is possible to measure the plastic zone and crack growth length.

ESPI(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interfermetry) is an optical technique to measure surface deforamtion of engineering components and materials in industrial ares. This optical method is capable of providing full-field results with high spatial resolution, high speed and is the non-contact technique. One of important application aspects using electronic speckle pattern interferometry is to generate contours of a diffuse object in order to provide data for 3-D shape analysis and topography measurement. The contouring method by modified dual-beam speckle pattern interferometry is proposed. We introduce a shift of the illumination beams through optical fiber in order to obtain the contour fringe patterns. The speckle pattern correlation technique is suitable for providing measurement range from millimeters to several centimeters. The complete geometric analysis of the contoretical and experimental results are obtained.

To obtain $A_2$ experimentally in the $J-A_2$ theory, deformation field on the lateral surface of a CT specimen was to be determined using Laser speckle method. The crack growth was measured using direct current potential drop method and most procedure of experimental and data reduction was performed according to ASTM Standard E1737-96. Laser speckle images during crack propagation were monitored by two CCD cameras to cancel the effect of rotation and translation of the specimen. An algorithm to pursue displacement of a point from each image was developed and successfully used to measure $A_2$ continuously as the crack tip was propagated. The effects of specimen thickness on J-R curve and $A_2$ were explored.

The high coherence of laser beam has made it possible to observe interference effects even in the light scattered from rough surfaces. That's why, when object with a scattering surface is illuminated with laser light, we do see a speckled appearance due to random interference. This sort of unique property of laser speckle has bruht into existence the new noncontaciting techniques such as speckle metrology method of measuring deformation, displacement, and vibration etc of objects with high optical sensitivity. The measurable range of speckle metrology especially used to measure in -plane information, however, is limited by some factors, the so-called strain, rotation tilt of surface and out of displacement perpendicular to the plane of analysis This restrictions severly limits the measurable range of speckle metrology by causing the decorrelation of speckle patterns. It is the purpose of this paper to give a survey on the measurable limitation of speckle photography method that is one of speckle metrology. Namely we will discuss the mutual relationships and problems of each limitations adding the restriction on the largest and smallest displacement measurable with speckle methods.

Backside defect of plate structure may grow due to fatigue or overload to cause critical failure during operation, so it is important to detect this kind of defect in line. For this purpose, nondestructive, non-contact and highly sensitive method is required. ESPI and Shearography are considered as useful method to satisfy these requirements. In this paper, the possibility of application of ESPI and Shearography to detect the backside defect of steel plate and to quantify the defect size was tested. For the experiment, some steel plates with defect on the backside were prepared. Experimental results for these plates showed that location and size of defect could be detected correctly by both of ESPI and Shearography.

Deformation phase can be obtained by using Least-Square fitting. In extraction of phase values, Least-Square Fitting is superior to usual method such as 2, 3, 4-Bucket Algorithm. That can extract almost noise-free phase and retain 2 $\pi$ discontinuities. But more fringes in phase map, 2 $\pi$ discontinuities are destroyed when that are filtered and reconstruction of deformation is not reliable. So, we adapted Least-Square fitting using an isotropic window in dense fringe. Using Sine/cosine filter give us perfect 2 $\pi$ discontinuities information. We showed the process and result of extraction of phase map and filtering in this paper.

More accurate and fast inspection method for mechanical parts and structure is required to guarantee the safety. Conventional methods using compliance method, eddy current method, ultrasonic wave, acoustic emission for non-destructive testing in mechanical parts and structure have been performed as the method of contact with objects to be inspected. With this reason these methods have been taken relatively much time, money, and manpower. In this study, in order to overcome these shortcomings, we used In-plane Electronic Speckle pattern Interferometry(In-plane ESPI) that was full-field measurement and noncontact method. We detected the cracks of the specimen at a real time and measured the length of the crack by using In-place ESPI system. Finally, we compared this results with conventional microscope method.

This paper proposes a method of measuring and imaging the stiffness of human soft tissue to diagnose cancers or tumors which have been difficult to detect in ultrasound B-mode imaging systems. To measure the soft tissue stiffness, sinusoidal vibrations are applied to it, and the magnitude of its mechanical vibration is determined by estimating the temporal variation of speckle pattern brightness in ultrasound B-mode images. It is verified by simulation and experiment that the proposed method can estimate the relative tissue stiffness from B-mode images with a relatively small amount of computation.

In this paper, we have implemented the digital signal processing system for intruder detection using speckle pattern variation in multi-me optical fiber with hypersensitive and high fidelity. The performance of the implemented system was evaluated by experiments. In order to improve the system performances we applied the adaptive digital filter. In experimental results we could see 96 % intruder detection and 90 % man/car discrimination probability.
