Abstract
The work of O'Rourke and Saenz on the photoelastic determination of quenching stresses is re-examined and extended. A brief general discussion is given on the determination of shear stresses or stress differences in the interior of a photoelastic model from retardation patterns obtained by passing light through the entire model. A method is proposed for the cylindrical case, with no variation in stress along the axis, which is feasible at present, while the proposal for the general axi-symmetric problem is feasible in principle. The fundamental difficulty of the general three-dimensional model is brought out but no solution is advanced.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
