A Special Investigation to Develop a General Method for Three-Dimensional Photoelastic Stress Analysis

Abstract

The method of strain measurement after annealing is reviewed and found to be unsatisfactory for the materials available in this country. A new, general method is described for the photoelastic determination of the principal stresses at any point of a general body subjected to arbitrary loads. The method has been applied to a sphere subjected to diametral compressive loads. The results Show-possibilities of high accuracy.
