Abstract

An alternative method for the determination of three-dimensional stresses in photoelastic models is discussed. The model is sectioned into discrete, imaginary slices and a relationship is derived between the retardation and isoclinic angle of each slice and characteristic photoelastic parameters measured using a transmission polariscope. An illustration of the multi-load method is given and the practical application of the technique is discussed.
