Computer-Aided Measurement of Relative Retardations in Plane Photoelasticity

  • Conference paper
Experimental Stress Analysis

Abstract

Computer-aided methods for evaluation of photoelastic patterns use video technique and digital image processing. They are based on localization of fringe centers [ 1, 2, 3, 4]. Neighbourhood operations are needed to reduce the influence of nonuniform illumination, inhomogeneous optical components and models, etc. Fractional orders of the relative retardation and of the isoclinic parameter at points between the fringes are computed by spline- functions, if the components of the plane stress state have to be derived from photoelastic data. In the following a method is proposed, which enables the complete extraction of photoelastic information at local picture elements (pixel) from series of related images of the same stress state. For this purpose the well-established phase-shifting technique (see e. g. [ 5,6]) was modified to meet the special requirements of photoelastic patterns.
