Abstract
Photoelastic measurements of residual strains are used extensively in the QC and inspection of transparent materials. A new method of measurements, based on Spectral Contents Analysis, is described in this paper. The method uses a personal computer for photoelastic data acquisition, eliminating personal skill and subjectivity. The new tool should make the measurements of residual strains for QC simpler and more reliable.© (1987) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
