Description
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
This invention provides the measurement of out of plane displacement in objects during mechanical tests without contact.
The analyzed section is usually 15×20 mm2.
The resolution of the measurement is 1 to 2 µm on a large range of gradients (10-3 to 10-1).
An accurate map of the whole surface can be obtained quickly (from a few seconds to a few minutes according to the number of points to be treated).
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
To measure deformation of an object out of the plane to obtain material constitutive laws, for example.
Use as a « profilometer » is possible
