Abstract

The deformations of an object subjected to stresses are measured, said object being, for example, an inertia wheel revolving at high speed inside a vacuum chamber, light pulses emitted by a stroboscope and synchronized with the rotation speed of the object are directed onto this object. The still frames or freezes thus formed are issued from the chamber through a circular aperture via a first large focal length objective. On the full scale real images thus obtained within a plane, a reticule is superimposed and the images of the object and of the reticule are increased by means of a second objective. A video camera connected to a screen and a recorder makes it possible to directly display and/or store the images of the deformations sustained by the object.
