Abstract: A rectangular metal plate is randomly excited by a shaker or by the impact of a small rod. To investigate the temporal development of the induced deformation, an optical measuring system for the evaluation of transient deformations is used. A ruby laser, which is able to produce four laser pulses within a few laser pulses within a few microseconds and a setup of three CCD-cameras for recording the four pulses/interferograms were used. The images of the recorded holographic interference patterns are captured digitally with a framegrabber inside a PC. The reconstruction of the holograms is performed also digitally in the computer. For the later is obtained from the complex amplitude and the deformation between two laser pulses is calculated from phase subtraction and phase unwrapping of these two holograms. Each deformation image can be decomposed into the eigenmodes of the plate, which have to be known/measured before. By measurement of four holograms with a known pulses separation one is able to determine the deformation states between each adjacent pulse and at least the temporal development of the deformation and contributing magnitude coefficients of the eigenmodes. !15
