Abstract
The well-known principle of the determination of the sum of principal stresses in plates by measuring thickness changes is applied in this paper to “frozen” plates and to models made with low-modulus materials, such as rubbers, deformed inside portable frames. It is shown that a sufficiently precise measurement of thickness changes is possible with a machine-shop comparator, rather than with the more delicate laboratory-type instruments. The necessary corrections to be introduced to the comparator readings when rubber models are used are described in the Appendix.
