Recent Developments in Photoelastic Coating Techniques
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Extract
The original concept of measuring strains directly from the surface of a structure by coating it with a birefringent material is credited to Mesnager (France, 1930), who was unable to obtain practical results at that time because of the lack of suitably sensitive photo-elastic materials. Subsequent attempts were made by Mabboux (France) in 1932, Oppel (Germany) in 1936 and K. O. Scott (England) in 1949. In March 1953, Col. H. T. Jessop published in the JOURNAL of the Royal Aeronautical Society the results of some research into the feasibility of bonding modern plastics on to structures.
