TLDR
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.
Abstract
In this paper a new full-field method for the automatic analysis of isochromatic fringes in white light is presented. The method, named RGB photoelasticity, eliminates the typical drawbacks of the classical approach to photoelasticity in white light which requires a subjective analysis of colors and an experienced analyst to acquire and interpret the results.

Effect of Initial Granular Structure on the Evolution of Contact Force Chains

TL;DR: The effect of initial granular structural conditions on load transmission patterns was experimentally investigated in this article, where two types of granular structures were prepared by laminating cylindrical model particles of different diameters, to which photoelastic sheets were attached.

Tactile whole-field imaging sensor on photoelasticity

TL;DR: In this paper, a whole-field imaging sensor developed on the principles of photoelasticity produces colored fringe patterns when load is applied on the contacting surface, however, as the loading in the present case is not conventional some new strategies need to be devised to analyze the load imprint.

On the Use of Different Wavelengths to Digitally Determine the Isochromatic Fringe Order

TL;DR: In this article, four approaches, a novel, two modified and a previous developed approaches, are compared for the determination of the total fringe orders using different wavelengths, and the results show that an error of 0.05 fringes can be achieved by all methods.

Model for quantifying photoelastic fringe degradation by imperfect retroreflective backings

TL;DR: A physical model is developed that accounts for how the various components of the coating affect the photoelastic measurement and changes the fringe patterns when backing roughness and oblique incident angles are incorporated into the model.

Half-fringe photoelasticity: A new approach to whole-field stress analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the half-fringe photoelasticity (HFP) method is proposed for whole-field stress analysis based on a symbiosis of two techniques, namely classical photo elasticity and modern digital image analysis.

Computer-Aided Measurement of Relative Retardations in Plane Photoelasticity

TL;DR: In the following a method is proposed, which enables the complete extraction of photoelastic information at local picture elements (pixel) from series of related images of the same stress state, and was modified to meet the special requirements ofphotoelastic patterns.
