An improved holographic recording instrument for recording on a holographic recording medium two successive holograms of the structure under differing stress conditions to produce a holographic interferogram containing information defining a deformation fringe pattern representing the deformations in the structure resulting from the change in stress conditions. A holographic recording unit for the instrument and for general holographic recording use.

Holographic recording instrument for structural integrity verification

An improved holographic instrument for evaluating the structural integrity of a load-bearing structure by recording on a holographic recording medium two successive holograms of the structure under differing stress conditions to produce a holographic interferogram containing information defining a deformation fringe pattern representing the deformations in the structure resulting from the change in stress conditions. A holographic recording unit for the optical signature instrument and for general holographic recording use.

Pulsed holographic system having independent universal beam adjustment

An impulser for percussively loading a structure to generate stress waves in the structure by driving a hammer into impact relation with the structure and generating an electrical signal in timed relation to the impact. The impulser may embody means, such as suction cups, for firmly attaching the impulser to the structure and an anvil which is interposed between the hammer and structure and spring loaded against the structure for transmitting the hammer impact to the structure without damaging the structure.

Electromagnetic impulser for dynamically loading a structure

A holographic optics orientation assembly for a holographic recording unit having a laser holographic recording system for recording holograms of subjects situated within a holographic recording field of the recording system. The orientation assembly is adjustable to adjust or shift the recording field without moving the entire recording unit and thereby permit pointing or aiming of the recording system at a selected subject without moving the entire unit.
