“…If it remains undetected, an invisible crack produced by a fatigue load or impact may induce a highly localized stress region even under a small external load, degrading the mechanical integrity. − Nondestructive testing, which predicts the formation of microcracks in materials and the stress distribution caused by the cracks without destroying previously operated equipment and parts, has attracted considerable attention . Several nondestructive techniques have been proposed for detecting microcracks: optical transmission, , scanning acoustic microscopy, , resonance ultrasonic vibration, − luminescence imaging, , and others. , However, there are limitations in predicting the distribution of stress fields around microcracks, and the testing method can be enhanced by improving the price competitiveness, equipment management, field of view, and data processing. Along with the presence of microcracks, the stress field in the vicinity of a microcrack is an important factor as it can reveal the fracture driving force and the crack propagation direction. , Therefore, it is necessary to develop a nondestructive method that can visualize the stress distribution around microcracks over a large area.…”
