Digital photoelasticity has rapidly progressed in the last few years and has matured into an
industry-friendly technique. This review thematically classifies all the developments in digital …

The standard tempering process for architectural flat glass creates minor fluctuations in the
lateral stress distribution resulting in birefringence and undesired optical iridescence, also …

Understanding high–velocity microparticle impact is essential for many fields, from space
exploration to medicine and biology. Investigations of microscale impact have hitherto been …

Quantifying the stress field induced into a piece when it is loaded is important for
engineering areas since it allows the possibility to characterize mechanical behaviors and …

Quantitative visualization of the full-field stress and strain in porous structures is of
significance to reveal the mechanism of the damage and failure of engineering materials. To …

Quantification and visualization of the three‐dimensional (3‐D) whole‐field stress
distribution in porous geomaterials are significant for solving various subsurface …

Experimental results on the behavior of laser ultrasonic signals near holes in stressed
ceramics and metals are presented. The data obtained are analyzed within the framework of …

The influence of the contact between specimen and machine jaw in Brazilian disc testing
method is investigated by the reflection photoelasticity technique. To this end, six brackets …

In the present paper, optical anisotropy effects in architectural glass are evaluated using
digital image processing. Hereby, thermally toughened glass panes were analyzed …

Undular bores, or dispersive shock waves, are nonstationary waves propagating as
oscillatory transitions between two basic states, in which the oscillatory structure gradually …
