Abstract
In this paper, the isotropic and anisotropic photoelastic experimental hybrid methods for fracture mechanics are developed. Using the photoelastic experimental hybrid method, it is demonstrated that one can precisely obtain stress intensity factors and separate the stress components of isotropic and anisotropic plate problems from the only isochromatics.
