  • Processing of laser interferometric signals for small displacement measurements

    Creator:
    Peng, Gwo-sheng
    Abstract:
    Algorithms for analyzing laser interferometry signals were developed and adopted to the computer based processing of small displacement measurements. These methods, matrix operation approach and fixed parameters approach, are based on signal phase calculation and are able to replace complex fringe counting electronic circuits. The matrix operation provides an approach...

  • The fracture toughness of medium density fiberboard and other fiber bridging composites

    Creator:
    Matsumoto, Noah T.
    Abstract:
    In many composites, fiber bridging develops as part of the fracture process. Fiber bridging invalidates many toughness evaluation methods such as the ASTM E399 and complicates the identification of crack length, which is a necessary parameter in energy methods. In order to measure the toughness of fiber bridging composites, an...
