“…This means that test data is obtained faster and it is more precise, but the theory and underlying concepts of the photoelasticity remain the same. Further research and development of the method was mostly related to the automation of the data acquisition and analysis process, so that various new scanning schemes were developed (Digendranath, Binu, P, & Annamala, 2015), (Kale & Ramesh, 2013), (Yao, Jian, Xu, Jin, & Yeh, 2005), (Digendranath, Jeby, & Annamala, 2014), (Ramakrishnan & Ramesh, 2017a), (Ramakrishnan & Ramesh, 2017b) and new methods for extracting the stress data from the acquired images have been presented, for instance (Ramji & Ramesh, 2008).…”
