Remarks on Residual Stress Measurement by Hole-Drilling and Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry by Claudia Barile, Caterina Casavola, Giovanni Pappalettera, Carmine Pappalettere

“…It is based on the principle that drilling a hole in the material causes a local stress relaxation; the initial residual stress can be calculated by measuring strain in correspondence with each drill depth. Recently optical techniques were introduced to measure strain; in this case, the accuracy of the final results depends, among other factors, on the proper choice of the area of analysis. …”

Plasmonics: Manipulating Light at the Subwavelength Scale by Cheng-Ping Huang, Yong-Yuan Zhu

“…In the plasmonic waveguide, the light can be guided along the metal surface with subwavelength lateral dimensions, enabling the possibility of high-density integration of the optical elements. On the other hand, in the plasmonic transmission, the propagation of light through a metal surface can be tailored with the subwavelength holes, leading to the anomalous transmission behaviors which have received extensive investigations in recent years. …”

The Application of Immersive Interactive Technology in Animation Teaching by Zhiying Sun, Jing Liu

“…The influence of white light background noise in the environment on the laser speckle measurement can be effectively filtered by adding a filter device to the imaging optical path. In order to explore the antivibration ability of different phase extraction algorithms of laser speckle interferometry in the presence of vibration in the measurement environment, this paper constructs an application model of immersive interactive technology in animation teaching. …”
