Papers by Keyword: Measurement of Stress on Rotating Component

Abstract: In this paper a new measurement technique to perform thermoelastic stress analysis on rotating mechanical component is proposed. The idea is to use a particular realization of the Dove prism optical system, optimized to work width infrared radiation, able to give a fixed output image of a rotating surface on where a normal thermoelastic measurement system can be applied. The realization of a first prototype of this optical system is described. First results on a test case are illustrated.
