Abstract

The use of two monochromatic light sources to obtain two isochromatic patterns permits a fully automated shear-difference analysis of the stress distribution in a three-dimensional photoelastic model. A development is given of the logic necessary to process the data taken from an automated polariscope as well as the design details of the polariscope.
