Resumen

We have extended the use of the well know shadow moire technique to be implemented in curved surfaces (particularly convex cylindrical and conical). The prototype is based on a tripod support spring loaded. A polyester foil with a printed Ronchi grating is stretched between three points. This allows the definition of a perfect plane surface and further the elastic load permits to adapt the foil to any cylindrical or conical surface, no matter the relative orientation of the support to the surface and with an optimum distribution of tensile stress. Some experimental results have been obtained which are quite satisfactory in comparison with the flat grating approach. This work is under the INDUCE European project.
