Summary
Basics of photoelasticity – linear and circularly polarized light, temporary birefringence, Wertheim law. Determination of stress on body´s unloaded surface, reflex photoelasticity. Basics of extensometry – principle of the method, basic types of strain gauges, bridge connections, thermal compensation, evaluation of strain gauge roses. Strain gauge sensors. Force, torque, weight and shock load measurements. Methods of measuring residual stresses and their evaluation. Optical methods of deformation measurement - Digital image correlation.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
To give students of Applied Mechanics with different experimental methods designed to analyze the deformation (stress) behavior of materials, which is induced in components of external loads or residual stress from the technological processes of manufacture, etc. Students learn the application of selected methods to specific examples.
