Abstract The use of interferometric moiré and hole drilling to determine residual stress has been well reported and accepted for stress fields whose principal directions can be predicted well enough to permit the moiré grids to be aligned with the principal strain axes. When the principal strains do not align themselves with the grid axes, a third strain component can be obtained by working with the diagonal pitch of the moiré grid, but this requires resetting the optical bench to the lower frequency. Diffraction efficiency is lost, with an additional loss in sensitivity. In this paper, the authors determine the shear strain component by observing the rotation of the moiré fringes in close proximity to the hole. The results of experiments on a specimen containing a model residual stress distribution are presented and compared with the theoretical prediction. Finally, the isothetic contours, based on elastic theory, were computed and plotted for several cases to verify this proposition. These results and the expected residual stress distribution are also compared to the experimentally obtained moiré fringes.
