Abstract
A technique for the determination of stress intensity factors from caustics by means of an interactive image processing system has been developed where a multipoint overdeterministic data reduction technique makes use of a number of data points along the recorded caustic. The method requires minimum manual input from the analyst. The selection of data points along the experimentally recorded caustic curve for the analysis is done automatically. Results of this procedure are checked by comparing for acceptable coincidence the numerically generated caustic on the basis of the result of the iterative data reduction technique with the experimentally recorded caustic.
