Extract

Many problems arise in stress analysis which are not reasonably susceptible to mathematical treatment. Recourse may then be had to experimental methods. One of the most useful of these is the photoelastic method. This method is based upon the fact that transparent materials when stressed undergo changes in their optical properties which can be measured and related to the applied stress.
