Abstract

Photoelasticity data are expressed in terms of the direction and the differences of the principal stresses. To determine the principal stresses, separation is necessary. The author deals with some of the numerical methods of separating principal stresses, permitting evaluation of the stresses along straight sections. In the first part of this paper the author presents methods of separation and in the second part the errors involved.
