A Review of Laser Doppler Vibrometry for Structural Health Monitoring Applications

Abstract:

Non-contact optical/laser measuring techniques are very attractive in many engineering applications. The paper demonstrates examples related to structural health monitoring. Various methods based on strain, vibration and ultrasound measurements are presented together with relevant references. Applications examples utilise in-plane and out-of-plane measurements taken by 1-D and 3-D laser Doppler vibrometers.
