A Membrane Analogy Supplementing Photoelasticity

Abstract
This paper describes a new method of finding the sum of the principal stresses in a two-dimensional model by means of ordinate measurements on a stretched rubber membrane as suggested by J. P. Den Hartog. The method is applied in detail to a simple phenolite tension member with a central circular hole and is found to be easy of operation and to yield results of good accuracy.
