“…The theory of the moiré interferometry technique can be found in numerous publications including those written by groups led by Post [1,[3][4][5], Mckelvie [6][7][8][9], Walker [10][11][12], Cloud [13], Dai [14][15][16][17], Morimoto [18,19] and the current contributing authors. In this text we will expand on recent applications in the research on microelectronics devices, material characterization, micromechanics, residual stress, composite materials, fracture mechanics, and biomechanics.…”
