Electronic shearography apparatus for producing animation of shearogram images

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for performing electronic shearography on a test object, especially a tire or retread tire. The apparatus uses a laser light source to illuminate the test object. An optical element through which electromagnetic radiation is reflected from the test object is transmitted and forms a random interference image. The random interference image is electronically processed to provide a video animation of the effects of stress on the test object.
