Measurement of Small Strain-Rates over Short Time Periods
A laser interferometer has been used to measure small relative displacements between two reference points spaced up to 99.76 m apart and fixed in an ice surface. Strain-rates of order 10 −11 s −1 can be detected easily within a 24 h period and possibly within an 8 h period.
