Abstract
Laser light was revolutionary to optical testing methods. An optical method, shearography in combination with phase-shifting, has prooved as suited, easy- to- handle method to indicate deformations. Cartesian coordinates are usually applied, which are only an approximation when testing sections of toroidal objects. Tires approximative have a toroidal shape. By using polar shearing method deformations of the complete circumference of toroidal objects can be analyzed. An example of a defect in a tire will be shown. A small deformation of the tire by lowering the inner pressure permits dropping the critical unwrapping procedure. The pure modulo-2pi-image is used. The image processing procedure is modified to receive an absolute threshold for defect indication.
