Long‐standing infrastructure is subject to structural deterioration. In this respect, steel
bridges suffer fatigue cracks, which necessitate immediate inspection, structural integrity …

This paper describes an experimental study on full-field stress separation from
thermoelasticity and photoelasticity measurements and its application to estimation of stress …

Solids, like a confined gas, experience an increase in temperature when compressively
loaded and a temperature decrease when stressed in tension. While such stress-induced …

A finite difference technique for processing thermoelastic data for biaxial problems is
presented. The method enables thermoelastic data to be smoothed at interior points and …

Thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) is a technique for measuring stresses through
temperature changes induced by the thermoelastic effect of elastic bodies. Unfortunately …

This paper presents a number of possible algorithms for inverse boundary element (BE)
techniques applied to photoelastic analysis. The BE technique is shown to be an ideal …

Thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) is a non-contact and full-field type method of
experimental stress analysis. Since TSA provides only the sum of the principal stresses …

In the process of metal plastic forming, the flow stress formula has always been a significant
basis for analyzing plastic deformation. The material strength coefficient and strain …

Abstract Knowledge of individual stresses is necessary for the quantitative evaluation of
engineering components. A finite element type scheme is described for accurately and …

Thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA, thermoelasticity) uses an infrared radiometer to
measure local temperature fluctuations and relates these changes to variations in the …
