Synopsis
Increasingly, the techniques of optical measurement are being used to solve problems in experimental mechanics. This book meets the need for an up-to-date exposition of optical methods in experimental mechanics. Professor Cloud efficiently integrates optics theory with the development of optical methods. Techniques discussed include classical interferometry, photoelasticity, geometric moire, optical spatial filtering, intermediate sensitivity moire, holographic interferometry and phase measurement techniques. Cloud provides a firm base in the physical principles and at the same time allows the reader to perform meaningful experiments related to the topic being studied. Such a user-oriented approach will appeal to both students and practicing engineers.

Book Description
This book meets the need for an up-to-date exposition of optical methods in experimental mechanics. Rather than begin with physics and optics theory and then move on to practical applications, the author has elected to integrate theory and practice. In so doing, he provides a firm base in the physical principles and at the same time allows the reader to perform meaningful experiments related to the topic being studied. Such a user-oriented approach will appeal to both students and practicing engineers.
Review
"Cloud has succeeded in developing a single unified text covering the relevant topics in optical metrology...a welcomed and needed addition to the literature and will certainly find a place on the bookshelf of many teachers and researchers working in the area of applied optical measurements in engineering. As intended, a void has been filled." Optical Engineering
"Cloud's book integrates topics dedicated to both coherent and white light techniques in one volume." Applied Mechanics Reviews
