The present conference on experimental mechanics discusses topics in the fields of structural testing methods, such optical characterization methods for mechanics as moire and caustics, materials-testing methods, the determination of fracture parameters, nonlinear test methods, composite mechanics characterizations, medical and sports biomechanics, shearographic and interferometric methods, strain gage techniques, residual stress phenomena, photoelasticity techniques, thermoelastic emissions, and the integration of PC hardware with experimental mechanics test apparatus. Also treated are short-crack phenomena, mechanics image processing methods, the time-dependent properties of composites, experimental mechanics in high-temperature environments, hybrid methods in experimental mechanics, the relationship of fatigue phenomena to dynamics, industrial applications of photoelasticity, speckle metrology, and the nature of dynamic systems.
