Abstract
Digital photoelasticity is an important segment of optical metrology for stress analysis by digital photographic images. Advances in digital image processing, data acquisition, standard recognition and data storage allow the utilization of computer-aided techniques in the automation and improvement of the digital photoelastic technique. The objective of this study is to develop new techniques using 3D rapid prototyping with transparent resins in digital photoelasticity. Some innovations are proposed (e.g., a tapered roller bearing built with 3D rapid prototyping with transparent resin and the final assembly with the specimens prototyped separately). A metrology study is carried out with the new techniques developed.
Highlights
ObjectivesThe objective of this study is to develop new techniques using 3D rapid prototyping with transparent resins in digital photoelasticity
Experimental stress analysis techniques were widely used during prototype design, but as data processing and storage on computers advanced, they were replaced by numerical techniques
The method can be used to validate or verify results obtained in numerical stress analysis techniques such as the finite element analysis, providing more reliability and safety in prototype design
Summary
The objective of this study is to develop new techniques using 3D rapid prototyping with transparent resins in digital photoelasticity. The objective of this work is to use rapid prototyping via three-dimensional printing with birefringent transparent resin in an innovative way to separately print each component of a tapered roller bearing and assemble it
