Abstract

Reflective photoelasticity is a widely used full-field technique for accurately measuring surface strains to determine the stresses in a part or structure during static or dynamic testing. Photoelastic phase-shifting method can be used for the determination of the phase values of isochromatics and isoclinics. Conventional Babinet-soleil compensation method and photoelastic phase-shifting technique were utilized to analyze a specimen with a triangle hole and a circular hole under bending. Three groups of results were obtained by conventional compensation method, 8-step phase-shifting method with reflective-type photoelastic arrangement and FEM (ABAQUS) simulation, respectively. They agree with each other relatively well considering experiment error. The reliability of this combined method can both improve and extend the two conventional methods to be applied to more new fields of stress analysis.
