    1. The document discusses photoelastic coatings for experimental stress analysis. Photoelastic coatings allow visualization of stress patterns through polarized light. Strain-optic laws relate observed fringe patterns to stress/strain in the coated component. 2. Engineering approximations are made in data acquisition and interpretation of coatings, including determination of the strain coefficient K through calibration. Correction factors are also needed to properly interpret results due to differences in material properties between the coating and component. 3. Regions of stress concentration require special handling. The document provides an example problem determining the stress concentration factor for a plate with a hole from maximum and far-field fringe orders observed using a photoelastic coating.

    Experimental Stress Analysis

    Assignment # 5
    Photoelastic Coatings

    1. Why the use of strain-optic law is desirable in photoelastic coating analysis?

    2. List the engineering approximations made in the data acquisition and interpretation of
    photoelastic coatings.

    3. Why are correction factors needed in interpreting the result of photoelastic coatings?
    Discuss your reasoning with the help of two examples.

    How would you handle regions of stress concentration?

    4. It is proposed to conduct a photoelastic coating test of an aircraft landing gear. One of


    the first steps in a photoelastic coating test is to determine the strain coefficient K of the
    coating. Displacement controlled cantilever beam is an ideal model for calibration. The
    cantilever beam (thickness 5 mm, width 25 mm and length 250 mm) is of the same
    aluminium alloy (Es = 71 GPa; νs = 0.33) as that of the landing gear.

    A small strip of photoelastic coating material (Ec = 2600 MPa; νc = 0.38) of thickness
    3 mm is bonded onto the Aluminium alloy cantilever specimen. The model is
    illuminated with white light and the fringe orders obtained at a section 50 mm from
    the fixed end is as follows:

    Displacement, mm 1 2 3 4 5 6
    Fringe order, N 0.3 0.5 0.8 1 1.3 1.6

    Determine the strain-optic coefficient K.

    Instead of white light (577 nm) if the experiment is conducted with Sodium Vapour
    lamp (589.3 nm) what modifications need to be done for data interpretation?

    5. Can you find the region of yielding in the test specimen from the interpretation of the
    fringe patterns? If so mark the line demarcating the elastic and plastic region
    approximately.

    6. It is proposed to find the stress concentration factor of a finite plate with a hole subjected
    to uniaxial tension. As experimentalists, one needs to anticipate what could be the trend
    of the result. From your knowledge of Strength of materials can you guess what way the
    result will be?

    A photoelastic coating test performed on an Aluminium specimen (Es = 71 GPa; νs =


    0.33) with a PS-1 photoelastic coating (Ec = 2.5 GPa and νc = 0.38) revealed a
    maximum fringe order of Nmax = 4.5 and the far-field fringe order is found to be Nfar-field
    = 1.2 Determine the stress concentration factor.

    If the test has been done directly on the photoelastic coating, what is the ratio of fringe
    orders you should have observed?

    7. Correction factors are important in data interpretation of photoelastic coatings. They are
    the functions of the loading, thickness ratios and also depend on the elastic properties of
    the coating and the specimen materials. Consider that the specimen material is an
    aluminium alloy (Es = 71 GPa; νs = 0.33, hs = 8 mm) and the coating is the PS-1
    material (Ec = 2.5 GPa and νc = 0.38, hc = 3 mm).

    Determine the correction factors for various types of loading situations such as (i) Plane
    stress, (ii) Beam of 25 mm thickness (iii) Bending of plate (iv) Torsion – assume a tube
    of 75 mm inner dia (v) Pressure piping of 30 mm inner dia.
