Abstract
Abstract The phase stepping technique has recently been applied to the automated analysis of photoelastic fringes to determine the isoclinic parameter and the relative retardation. Generally, in these methods the error of quarter-wave plates, due to common manufacturing tolerances, influences the determination of the isoclinic parameter and the fringe order. In this paper a new phase stepping method in which the influence of quarter-wave plate error is null on the isoclinic parameter and negligible on the fringe order is proposed. The theoretical results have been confirmed by experimental tests.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design provides a forum for work relating to the measurement and analysis of strain that is appropriate to engineering design and practice.
"Since launching in 1965, The Journal of Strain Analysis has been a collegiate effort, dedicated to providing exemplary service to our authors. We welcome contributions related to analytical, experimental, and numerical techniques for the analysis and/or measurement of stress and/or strain, or studies of relevant material properties and failure modes. Our international Editorial Board contains experts in all of these fields and is keen to encourage papers on novel techniques and innovative applications."
