TLDR
In this paper, the combined use of both RGB and phase stepping photoelasticity is proposed, characterised by the following features: maximum measurable order greater than that of the RGB method, ability to determine the total fringe order without necessity of unwrapping.

Phase shifting photoelasticity in white light

TL;DR: In this article, the general characteristics of phase shifting photoelasticity in the colour domain were investigated, focusing on the influence of spectral content of the light source, the spectral response of the colour camera filters, the dispersion of the birefringence and the error of quarter wave plates.

Photoelastic method to quantitatively visualise the evolution of whole-field stress in 3D printed models subject to continuous loading processes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a series of continuous frames extracted from a video recording of the fringe changes over the entire loading process to quantify the continuous evolution of the whole-field stress in photosensitive material that is applicable to fabrication of complex structures using 3D printing technology.

Towards RGB photoelasticity: Full-field automated photoelasticity in white light

TL;DR: A new full-field method for the automatic analysis of isochromatic fringes in white light, named RGB photoelasticity, which makes it possible to determine retardations uniquely in the range of 0–3 fringe orders.

Three fringe photoelasticity ‐ use of colour image processing hardware to automate ordering of isochromatics

TL;DR: A systematic study has been carried out on how to use the red green blue (RGB) value recorded using a colour image processing system for determining fringe orders up to 3 in a fringe field and it is revealed that instead of directly using RGB values corresponding to a dark field image, if the difference of RGB values between bright and darkfield images is used, the number of noise points is less.

Simulation of errors in automated photoelasticity

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of using white light has been investigated both by experiment and by a simulation of a polariscope, and the simulation has been validated and used to explore the use of bandwidth filters to control the errors caused by white light.
