Abstract
With respect to the fast developments in computer techniques, new fields of application of experimental stress analysis are opened. As only a combination of theoretical and experimental stress analysis in all statical, dynamical and stability problems guarantees reliable and most accurate results, hybrid techniques based on advanced theories are to be introduced. This is possible under the presupposition of modern measuring devices and higher precision in data acquisition and evaluation by means of automatic devices. The recent developments in semiconductor techniques and the availability of computers with high-storage capacity render possible on-line procedures in experimental techniques on the basis of the already known methods.
