Abstract
A new moiré method is proposed to map partial slope, partial curvature and twist curvature contours of laterally loaded specularly reflecting plate models. Converging HeNe laser light is diffracted by a lens plane cross grating, different combinations of orders are selectively permitted through the Fourier transform plane and collimated to illuminate the plate model. This technique eliminates the difficulties involved in Fourier filtering in the imaging optics, thereby extending the reflection moiré interferometry to general plate structures and loading. The slope contours are obtained still by double exposure.
