Abstract

As discussed in Chapter 7, classical two-dimensional photoelasticity is based on Wertheim’s stress-optical law, which relates the relative retardation between the two light waves that are linearly polarized in the principal-stress directions of the photoelastic model with the difference of the principal stresses. From analysis of the optical effects obtained by inserting a two-dimensional model in the field of a plane polariscope, which was discussed in Section 7.2, it was concluded that the two quantities of the stress field that appear in Wertheim’s law, that is the principal-stress directions and the principal-stress difference, can be determined from the two overlapping families of isoclinics and iso-chromatics, respectively, obtained in a plane polariscope.
