Abstract

In a series of the experiments of real-time holographic interferometry, some dark shadow areas appear among the interference fringes. The appearing of the dark shadow area plays a very important role in the fracture process. We find that the appearing of these dark shadow regions are the phenomena of caustic in Fracture Mechanics. The shadow region is so called shadow spot in Fracture Mechanics and the factor of stress intensity can be calculated by measuring the size of the correosponding length of the shadow spot and the strain field can be calculated by traditional holographic method. Therefore, holographic method and caustic method can be combined together in holographic interferometry and it will lead to a wide application in Experimental Mechanics.
