Measurements of interlaminar deformation in the composite laminates

In this paper, an experiment is executed to analyze the displacement distribution of 56-ply composite laminates under three-point bending. In the experiment, the displacement fields on the two free edges of the laminated composite are measured by using the moire interferometry method and natural micro-image processing technique based on wavelet transform at the same time. In the first part of this study, a two-beam traditional moire interferometry experiment has been carried out. And in the second part, we present a new image processing method, which combines the theory of correlation and wavelet transform technique.
