A description of research on holographic, nondestructive testing (HNDT) with impact loading is presented to demonstrate the technique as a practical HNDT method. The advantages of impact, or impulse, loading coupled with pulsed-laser illumination for HNDT away from the laboratory are discussed. The effect of the loading position, exposure timing, and prestressing on test results is discussed in detail. Experimental verification of the appropriateness of pulsed-laser HNDT in the testing of honeycomb materials by using impact loading is discussed. [References: 9]
