Photoelastic experiment has been used to analyze stress of structure and stress in the vicinity of crack tip etc.. Model experiment such as photoelastic experiment has been restricted by problem of residual stress in the photoelastic model material. They are generated by molding, cutting and time effects etc.. They produce some errors in the results of photoelastic experiment data. In this paper, stress optic law considering residual stress already developed by authors was applied to the stress concentration problem and fracture mechanics. Although the specimen was bad with residual stress, we could obtain good results by using the stress optic law considering residual stress. It was found that the stress optic law of photoelastic experiment could be applied to the stress analysis of bimaterial.

The various composite materials have been developed with the development of high strength material and the increasement of composite material usage. Therefore many researchers have studied about the stress analysis and the fracture mechanics for composite materials through the experiment or the theory. Among the experimental methods, the photoelastic experiments have been used for the stress analysis of the isotropic structures or the anisotropic structures. To analyze the stresses in the orthotropic material with photoelastic experiment, the basic physical properties ( $E_{L}$, $E_{T}$, $G_{LT}$ , .nu.$_{LT}$ ) and the basic stress fringe values ( $f_{L}$, $f_{T}$, $f_{LT}$ )are needed, therefore the relationships between the basic physical properties and the stress fringe values were derived in this paper. When the stress fringe value is very large, it was assured by the experiment that the relationships are established both in the room temperature and in the high temperature (T = 130.deg. C). Therefore the basic physical properties can be obtained from the relationships by measuring stress fringe values instead of measuring the basic physical properties.rties.

초경합금은 기계적 성질이 다른 WC의 분상상과 Co의 결합상으로 구성되어 있다. 만일 이합금이 거시적으로 균일하게 변형을 하면, 각 상들은 이들의 응력상태에 따라 다르게 변형될 것이다. 따라서 WC-Co 합금의 변형특성과 강화기구를 명확히 알기 위해서는 각상의 미시적 변형과 파괴기구를 검토할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 시편에 굽힘하중을 가하여, X선 회절로 분산상인 WC상 및 결합상인 Co상의 X선적 탄성정수와 응력정수를 측정하였다. WC-Co합금중의 WC상과 Co상의 상응력은 WC(112)면과 CO(311)면의 회절로서 결정하였다. 그리고 이 상응력들을 복합법칙의 적용가능성에 대하여 검토하였다.

A hybrid experimental-numerical method is presented for determining the stresses around a circular hole in a finite-width, tensile loaded plate. Measured fringe orders along straight lines provided the input information on the external boundary of the hybrid element. In order to see the effects of varying stress field, different numbers of terms in a power-series representation of the complex type conformal mapping stress function were tested. For qualitative comparison, actual isochromatic fringes were compared with reconstructed theoretical fringes using stress-optic law. For quantitative comparison, relative errors and standard deviations with respective to relative errors were analyzed for all measured points by changing the number of terms of stress function. The hybrid results are highly comparable with those predicted by FEA. The results show that this approach is effective and promising because isochromatic data along the straight lines in photoelasticity can be conveniently measured by use of phase shifting photoelasticity.

Photoelasticity is one of the most widely used methods for whole field stress analysis. In photoelasticity, the difference and the directions of the principal stresses we given isochromatic and isoclinic fringe patterns. Conventionally, principal stress directions are measured manually by relating the polarizer and analyzer of a plane polariscope at the same time. This is known to be the Tardy compensation method. This measurement can be very tedious and time consuming in whole field analysis. It is not possible to separate isoclincs from photoelastic fringes by conventional photoelastic technique. In this study, photoelastic theory is represented by Jones matrices and 4-steps and 8-steps phase shifting methods are described A feasibility study using computer simulation is done to separate isoclincs and isochomatics from photoelastic fringes of a circular disk under diametrical compression. Fringe patterns of the disk are generated using stress optic law. The magnitudes of isoclincs and isochromatics obtained from 8-step phase shifting method are compared with those of theories. From computer simulation, it is verified to separate isoclincs and isochomatics from photoelastic fringes.

The reflection type photoelastic experiment can be used more effectively than the transparent type photoelastic experiment in industrial fields. However, the reflection type photoelastic experiment for orthotropic material has not been studied. Therefore, the reflection type photoelastic experimental hybrid method for the fracture mechanics of orthotropic material was developed in this research. Comparing the results obtained from this method with those from the hybrid method for isotropic material about the same isotropic specimen, the validity of this method was verified. And then, the reflection type photoelastic experiment for orthotropic material was applied to the orthotropic plates with a central crack of the various inclined angle. Using this hybrid method for the orthotropic material, it is able to obtain stress intensity factors and separate stress components at the vicinity of the crack-tip in orthotropic plates from only the isochromatic fringe patterns of isotropic coating material.

Photoelastic experiment has been restricted by three significant problems such as the problems of modeling for a complicated body, of development of experimental model material, and of residual stress in photoelastic specimen. The residual stress in photoelastic model materials is caused by molding, cutting and time effects, etc.. Especially, large residual stress exists on the interface of photoelastic model material for bi-material. Small residual stress occurred in the photoelastic model materials is usually neglected in the photoelastic experiments. But the residual stress provides some errors in the results of photoelastic experiments. In this paper, the stress optic law which can be effectively applied to the phtoelastic model materials with residual stress is developed. By using this stress optic law, we can obtain good results from isochromatic fringe patterns of photoelastic experiment specimen in which residual stress are involved. The stress optic law can be applied to obtain good results of photoelastic experiment from composite materials or bimaterials.
