Abstract

A disadvantage of the embedded-polariscope method is the inability to observe isoclinics because the embedded Polaroid sheets are fixed within the model. Perforating the embedded active layer with an array of small-diameter holes allows observation of stress trajectories in the layer from the isochromatic patterns. Further, it is shown that the full-field fringes are little disturbed by the presence of the small perforations. The techniques of model fabrication are described, as well as an extension of the method to reveal bending-stress trajectories in plates loaded out of plane.
