  • A photoelastic stress analysis of a beam under shear and compressive loads

    Creator:
    Bitting, Kenneth Robert
    Abstract:
    The determination of failure is complicated when a structural element is subjected to combined rather than simple stresses. This is especially true when the principle of superposition does not apply. For such cases, tests of the element under the expected loads are required to determine its failure criteria. In this...

  • Polycarbonate as a photoplastic stress freezing material

    Creator:
    Broderick, John Justin
    Abstract:
    Dead weight creep tests were conducted on polycarbonate in order to determine if it is a linear viscoelastic material; or if it is not, then to determine the feasibility of photoplastic stress freezing. Secondary objectives were: the determination of the parameters in the creep compliance of a four element viscoelastic...
