Abstract

A new nondestructive method for analyzing axisymmetric problems is presented. The method uses the integrated optical effects through the whole transverse section of the body, along with the strain-displacement and equilibrium equations to give the separate internal stresses on that section. The method is reasonably general and may be applied to thermoelastic and residual stress problems. Some experimental results are presented and discussed.
