This book was released on 2008-12-04 with total page 1100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Springer Handbook of Experimental Solid Mechanics documents both the traditional techniques as well as the new methods for experimental studies of materials, components, and structures. The emergence of new materials and new disciplines, together with the escalating use of on- and off-line computers for rapid data processing and the combined use of experimental and numerical techniques have greatly expanded the capabilities of experimental mechanics. New exciting topics are included on biological materials, MEMS and NEMS, nanoindentation, digital photomechanics, photoacoustic characterization, and atomic force microscopy in experimental solid mechanics. Presenting complete instructions to various areas of experimental solid mechanics, guidance to detailed expositions in important references, and a description of state-of-the-art applications in important technical areas, this thoroughly revised and updated edition is an excellent reference to a widespread academic, industrial, and professional engineering audience.

Download or read book Experimental Mechanics of Solids written by Cesar A. Sciammarella and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-03-26 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental solid mechanics is the study of materials to determine their physical properties. This study might include performing a stress analysis or measuring the extent of displacement, shape, strain and stress which a material suffers under controlled conditions. In the last few years there have been remarkable developments in experimental techniques that measure shape, displacement and strains and these sorts of experiments are increasingly conducted using computational techniques. Experimental Mechanics of Solids is a comprehensive introduction to the topics, technologies and methods of experimental mechanics of solids. It begins by establishing the fundamentals of continuum mechanics, explaining key areas such as the equations used, stresses and strains, and two and three dimensional problems. Having laid down the foundations of the topic, the book then moves on to look at specific techniques and technologies with emphasis on the most recent developments such as optics and image processing. Most of the current computational methods, as well as practical ones, are included to ensure that the book provides information essential to the reader in practical or research applications. Key features: Presents widely used and accepted methodologies that are based on research and development work of the lead author Systematically works through the topics and theories of experimental mechanics including detailed treatments of the Moire, Speckle and holographic optical methods Includes illustrations and diagrams to illuminate the topic clearly for the reader Provides a comprehensive introduction to the topic, and also acts as a quick reference guide This comprehensive book forms an invaluable resource for graduate students and is also a point of reference for researchers and practitioners in structural and materials engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Interferometer Experiments in Acoustics and Gravitation In Chapter V, on the direct interferometry measurements of the compression of a sound-wave, much of my work has been superfluous, as it was anticipated in an admirable paper by Raps, using the Jamin interferometer. I have therefore given only as much as is necessary for the coordination of the other chapters. My method, however, is, I think, superior, owing to its much greater flexibility and the ease with which fringes in any orientation may be produced and shortened to a string of silvery beads. The simple organ-pipe blower or adjustable embouchure much used in the chapter will, I think, be found serviceable for many purposes, both of research and instruction. As the telephone is an indispensable convenience throughout these chapters, it was thought necessary to begin an interferometer investigation on the vibrations of the plate of that remarkable instrument. What comes out definitely in the research, Chapter V, is the readiness of the plate to quiver in overtones. A small mirror at the center is not therefore displaced, as a rule, translationally, but rather rotationally, giving rise to very complicated wave-forms, difficult to analyze. In corroboration of this, it was found (in Chapters IV and V, for instance) that a telephone current may often be commutated. In the endeavor to place the Foucault mirror on the interferometer I have thus far, for incidental reasons, failed of achievement; but as different apparatus useful in experiments of the present kind were tried out in the course of the work, I have given a brief account of it in Chapter VII. In Chapters VIII and IX, in deference to the wishes of Dr. R.S. Woodward, I have begun a search for methods of measuring the acceleration of gravity other than those classically in use. Such an inquiry necessarily consists in referring gravitational forces to forces generated in other mechanisms. An interferometer torsion-balance is first tested, but the results are found to contain relatively large and uncontrollable temperature coefficients, both of rigidity and viscosity, even if the ordinary effects of viscosity can be allowed for. The other (pneumatic) method for g, in which gravitational pull is referred to the pressure of a gas, has at the outset much to recommend it, for it admits of rough handling in spite of the otherwise surprising precision of results. The two errors which offer a serious menace to the accurate hydraulic weighing of the Cartesian diver, viz, the diffusion and solution discrepancies, though at first approach apparently insuperable, may not remain so indefinitely. At least, in experiments on the diffusion and convection of gases in narrow tubes, made in the lapse of years, coefficients of a negligibly small order of value were obtained. Though the work is very laborious, I think it will be worth while to carry it further. The remainder of the volume is largely concerned with work (Chapters XI and Xii) bearing on the constant of gravitation. The object of these experiments was at the outset a mere endeavor to read the deflections of the gravitation needle by displacement interferometry. The plan succeeded at once, almost beyond my expectations; but on computing the Newtonian constant it came out actually several times too large.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, ultimate sensitive measurement for weak force imposed on a suspended mirror is performed with the help of a laser and an optical cavity for the development of gravitational-wave detectors. According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, such measurements are subject to a fundamental noise called quantum noise, which arises from the quantum nature of a probe (light) and a measured object (mirror). One of the sources of quantum noise is the quantum back-action, which arises from the vacuum fluctuation of the light. It sways the mirror via the momentum transferred to the mirror upon its reflection for the measurement. The author discusses a fundamental trade-off between sensitivity and stability in the macroscopic system, and suggests using a triangular cavity that can avoid this trade-off. The development of an optical triangular cavity is described and its characterization of the optomechanical effect in the triangular cavity is demonstrated. As a result, for the first time in the world the quantum back-action imposed on the 5-mg suspended mirror is significantly evaluated. This work contributes to overcoming the standard quantum limit in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Proceedings contain state-of-the-art reviews and original materials related to up-to-date developments in a wide range of optical control methods. They are devoted in particular to shape, displacement and deformation measurement, strain analysis, mechanical behavior evaluation, inspection and non-destructive testing. Three principal classes of methods are under consideration: speckle photography, holographic interferometry and speckle interferometry. Both the state-of-the-art practices and the actual leading-edge techniques are discussed within a single volume, with reference to theoretical backgrounds common to all methods. Usually, similar information is distributed over many specialised works. The book presents both conceptual and practical aspects: theoretical considerations are fully analysed and applications illustrate the emphasis on many experimental aspects.
