Vibration measurements on rolling tires by tracking laser Doppler vibrometer

This paper describes the application of a Tracking Laser Doppler Vibrometer to the measurement of side-wall vibration of a tire during its rotation. An optimized version of the TLDV was developed for the specific application. The developed system was therefore applied to a rotating drum bench on automotive tire. The new version of TLDV is presented and some results on real automotive tire are shown.© (2000) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
