    On the extraction of stress-intensity factors from near-tip photoelastic data

    Existing algorithms and a new algorithm called ‘quadratic’, for extracting stress-intensity factors (SIF) from frozen-stress photoelastic data are evaluated for application to near-tip data in three-dimensiona...

    A Proposed Rationale for Accounting for Boundary Layer Effects in Designing Against Fracture in Three Dimensional Problems

    After briefly reviewing the features of an optical method for measuring boundary layer effects in cracked body problems, results of its application to two problem classes are presented. An interpretation of th...

    Use of mixed-mode stress-intensity algorithms for photoelastic data

    A generalization of irwin's method and a new algorithm, called ‘quadratic,’ are proposed for the extraction of mixed-mode stress-intensity factors (SIF) in three-dimensional cracked-body problems. These new al...
