Digital photoelasticity studies for analyzing fractal stress concentrators into birefringent bodies

TLDR
In this article, the effect of fractal concentrators is evaluated by means of digital photoelasticity by considering a circular disc of epoxy resin, a Canon color camera and a Baumer VCXU-50MP polarized camera.
Abstract
Identifying the state of stress around a concentrator is essential in a loaded structure. However, most studies are based on circular geometries, leaving aside complex ones such as fractals. In this paper, the effect of fractal concentrators are evaluated by means of digital photoelasticity by considering a circular disc of epoxy resin, a Canon color camera and a Baumer VCXU-50MP polarized camera. Additionally, a phase map was obtained with phase shifting, and phase wavelengths stepping algorithms. The digital photoelasticity executed detection of stress fields related to the fractal concentrator.
