Static and dynamic photoelasticity and caustics recent developments

Book ·
OSTI ID:5449197
The fundamental principles and applications of photoelastic analysis and NDE are examined in chapters contributed by leading experts. Topics addressed include integrated photoelasticity; coherent-light photoelastic NDE with applications to two-dimensional and three-dimensional problems in statics, contact stresses, fracture mechanics, and dynamic impulse; dynamic photoelasticity and its application to stress-wave propagation, fracture mechanics, and fracture control; and the shadow-optics method of caustics. Diagrams, drawings, graphs, and sample images are provided.
