Development of a priest interferometer for measurement of the thermal expansion of graphite-epoxy in the temperature range 116-366K

The thermal expansion behavior of Graphite/Epoxy Laminates between 116 and 366 degrees Kelvin was investigated using a novel implementation of the Priest interferometer concept. This thesis describes the design, construction and use of the interferometer along with the experimental results it was us...
