In his laboratory experiments, McMillan uses a technique called photoelasticity that analyzes how patterns of light within polyurethane disks change according to the magnitude and direction of forces ...

Introduction Photoelasticity is a well-known photomechanical phenomenon exhibited by materials like plastics, glass, transparent rubber, calcite etc by virtue of property called birefringence.

Photoelasticity is an experimental technique to reveal the stress/strain fields in models/structures through fringe patterns, especially in colour The UK-based Institute of Physics has published a ...
