Assessor comments:
This theory concerns itself with basic relations between stresses and
strains, and the loads which produce them. The concept of strain is
derived from that of deformation, which in turn is associated with the
displacement of points.
Apparatus
Polariscope is an optical instrument that utilizes the properties of
polarized light to analyze the stress distribution within a photoelastic
specimen. There are two types of polariscopes that are commonly used in
stress analysis work. Those are called “Plane polariscope and Circular
polariscope”.
(Circular Polariscope)
Method
Separation methods based on Hooke’s law make use of the fact that the
sum of principal stresses can be determined if the change in thickness of
the model, as a result of the applied loads, can be measured accurately at
the point of interest. Instruments developed for the measurements of
these changes (which are in the order of a few thousandths of a cm)
include lateral extensometers and interferometers.
Rather than having the light pass through the model at normal incidence,
the model can be rotated in the polariscope so that the light passes
through the model at some other angle, producing an oblique incidence
fringe pattern. This oblique incidence fringe pattern provides additional
data which can be employed to separate the principal stresses.
