NEW OPTICAL METHOD OF TESTING VIBRATION, STRAIN AND HEAT DISTRIBUTION ON ROTATING AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS

This paper describes the application of a new optical technique, known as image derotation, to the non-destructive, testing of rotating automotive components. After a description of the principle of operation, several examples are given of how specific problems have been solved. Finally, future areas of research are outlined with the emphasis placed on the solution of existing measurement problems in the automotive industry.
