ABSTRACT~In this paper, the isotropic and anisotropic photoelastic experimental hybrid methods for fracture mechanics are developed. Using the photoelastic experimental hybrid method, it is demonstrated that one can precisely obtain stress intensity factors and separate the stress components of isotropic and anisotropic plate problems from the only isochromatics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
