The reflective photoelastic experiment can be used more effectively than the transparent type in industrial fields. Therefore the reflective photoelastic experimental hybrid method applied to the fatigue fracture problems is introduced in this research. It is verified that the reflective photoelastic experimental hybrid method is very useful on the determination of crack propagation velocity and stress intensity factor of the fatigue crack and on the separation of stress components in the vicinity of fatigue crack tip etc.
