Abstract
Photoelasticity is an experimental method for analysing stress or strain fields in mechanics. The technique of photoelasticity is very well developed and many standard textbooks [1–7] have been written. An early description of the method of photoelasticity was provided by Coker and Filon [1] in 1931. Then, in 1937, Oppel [8] introduced the concept of frozen stress photoelasticity, which has facilitated the analysis of three-dimensional problems with the use of two-dimensional concepts. This is achieved by initially stress freezing the model and then mechanically slicing it. The mechanical slicing was replaced by optical slicing with the use of scattered light by Weller [9] in 1939. A new branch of photoelasticity viz., the scattered light photoelasticity was then developed [10]. Analysis of a three-dimensional model as a whole was proposed by Aben [11] and the technique is known as integrated photoelasticity.
