Infrared detection of standing waves

A thermal detecting device can be used to detect standing waves in a tire. A one degree F differential has been found to exist between the high flexing points and the low flexing points in a standing wave, and thermal imaging can be used to map the wave. Information on the standing waves can be used...

More Information
Summary:A thermal detecting device can be used to detect standing waves in a tire. A one degree F differential has been found to exist between the high flexing points and the low flexing points in a standing wave, and thermal imaging can be used to map the wave. Information on the standing waves can be used by the tire designer to improve a design.
