The paper reports on the technique of holographic interferometry, using a ruby pulsed laser as the coherent light source, applied to the study of a longitudinal transient stress induced in a rectangular bar by an axial impact of a second bar. Reasons for using a holographic technique are given together with ways of alleviating some of the associated problems. Some qualitative results are presented on the work done to date.
