Isochromatics obtained from photoelastic experiment shows the stress distributions of full field of a structure under a load. Therefore stress distributions of the structure can be read at a glace through isochromatics. Many experimental data are obtained from isochromatics. And then, the various photoelastic experimental hybrid methods have been developed. Until now, monochromatic light has been used for photoelastic experimental hybrid method. Therefore the photoelastic experimental hybrid method used until now is called the photoelastic experimental hybrid method for black and white isochromatics. When stresses are analyed by photoelastic experimental hybrid method, many experimental data are needed. Therefore some fringe orders of isochromatics are needed for the photoelastic experimental hybrid method for white and black isochromatics. Therefore in this paper, the photoelastic experimental hybrid method for color isochromatics is developed. In this case, two fringe orders are enough for the experimental data of photoelastic experimental hybrid method for color isochromatics. Applying the method to stress concentration problems, its validity is confirmed. In the precision, the photoelastic experimental hybrid method for color isochromatics is better than the photoelastic experimental hybrid method for white and black isochromatics when fringe orders of isochromatics are few. When fringe orders are few, the photoelastic experimental hybrid method for color isochromatics can be used to analyze stress through few fringe orders of isochromatics.

Photoelastic experiment has been restricted by three significant problems such as the problems of modeling for a complicated body, of development of experimental model material, and of residual stress in photoelastic specimen. The residual stress in photoelastic model materials is caused by molding, cutting and time effects, etc.. Especially, large residual stress exists on the interface of photoelastic model material for bi-material. Small residual stress occurred in the photoelastic model materials is usually neglected in the photoelastic experiments. But the residual stress provides some errors in the results of photoelastic experiments. In this paper, the stress optic law which can be effectively applied to the phtoelastic model materials with residual stress is developed. By using this stress optic law, we can obtain good results from isochromatic fringe patterns of photoelastic experiment specimen in which residual stress are involved. The stress optic law can be applied to obtain good results of photoelastic experiment from composite materials or bimaterials.

In this research, the photoelastic experimental hybrid method with Hook-Jeeves numerical method has been developed: This method is more precise and stable than the photoelastic experimental hybrid method with Newton-Rapson numerical method with Gaussian elimination method. Using the photoelastic experimental hybrid method with Hook-Jeeves numerical method, we can separate stress components from isochromatics only and stress intensity factors and stress concentration factors can be determined. The photoelastic experimental hybrid method with Hook-Jeeves had better be used in the full field experiment than the photoelastic experimental hybrid method with Newton-Rapson with Gaussian elimination method.

In the composite structures or the concrete structures, to analyze stress concentration factor, stress distributions and fracture mechanics of them under forces by photoelastic experiment, it is natural that to develope photoelastic model material for them is surely necessary. Thus, the orthotropic photoelastic model material for the transparent type photoelastic device was developed in the paper, it is called Copper Fiber Epoxy Composite and abbreviated as E.F.E.C. It was found that C.F.E.C. developed in this paper was satisfied with the properties of photoelastic model material that the photoelastic model material should have and that C.F.E.C. had completely properties of composite material. It is thought that C.F.E.C. can be applied to both medical engineering for modeling biological tissue and to the aerospace industry as orthotropic photoelastic material.

To develop the photoelastic experiment method for the orthotropic material under pure torsional moment is the main objective of this research. In the development of photoelastic experiment for orthotropic material under pure torsional moment, the important problems and their solutions are the same as following. In the model material for photoelastic experiment, it was found that C.F.E.C.(Copper Fiber Epoxy Composite) can be used as the model material of photoelastic experiment for orthotropic material. In the stress freezing cycle, it was assured that stress freezing cycle for epoxy can be used as the stress freezing cycle of the photoelastic experiment for orthotropic material. In the slicing method, it was found that the negative oblique slicing method can be effectively used as slicing method in 3-dimensional photoelastic experiment. In the measuring method of stress fringe values and physical properties in the high temperature, it was found that stress fringe values can be directly measured by experiment and physical properties can be directly or indirectly by equation between stress fringe values and physical properties developed by author. In the stress analysis method of orthotropic material under pure torsional moment by photoelastic experiment, it will be studied in the second paper.

Photoelastic experiment has two significant problems. The first problem is manufacturing a model specimen for complicated shapes of structures. The second problem is residual stress contained in the photoelastic model material. In this paper, the stress optic law that can be effectively used on photoelastic model materials with residual stress is developed. By using the stress optic law as developed in this research, we can obtain good results in photoelastic experiments using model material in which residual stress is contained. It is assured that the stress optic law developed in this research is useful. Therefore, it is suggested that the stress optic law considering residual stress can be applied to the photoelastic experiment for the stress analysis of the composite materials or bi-materials in which the residual stress is easily contained.

Photoelastic experiment has been used to analyze stress of structure and stress in the vicinity of crack tip etc.. Model experiment such as photoelastic experiment has been restricted by problem of residual stress in the photoelastic model material. They are generated by molding, cutting and time effects etc.. They produce some errors in the results of photoelastic experiment data. In this paper, stress optic law considering residual stress already developed by authors was applied to the stress concentration problem and fracture mechanics. Although the specimen was bad with residual stress, we could obtain good results by using the stress optic law considering residual stress. It was found that the stress optic law of photoelastic experiment could be applied to the stress analysis of bimaterial.

The reflective photoelastic experiment can be used more effectively than the transparent type in industrial fields. Therefore the reflective photoelastic experimental hybrid method applied to the fatigue fracture problems is introduced in this research. It is verified that the reflective photoelastic experimental hybrid method is very useful on the determination of crack propagation velocity and stress intensity factor of the fatigue crack and on the separation of stress components in the vicinity of fatigue crack tip etc.

Generally, photoelastic experimental data were measured in the closed vicinity of crack tip to determine stress intensity factors of a crack with photoelastic experiment method. In this case, only the first order term has been considered in the equation of stress field. But because it is very difficult to measure the correct photoelastic data in the closed vicinity of crack, the accuracy of experimental results was very poor. By including the high order terms in the stress field equation we could obtain the accurate S.I.F values by using clear photoelastic data in the distant region from crack tip instead of unclear photoelastic data in the vicinity of crack tip.

In this paper, glass surface-mat reinforced epoxy(G.S.R.E.) is developed, It is assured that the material(G.S.R.E.) can be used as photoelastic model material and it satisfy with the required properties of photoelastic model material. Therefore, the material can be used as model material of transparent photoelastic experiment when we analyze the stress distributions of transversely isotropic material by photoelastic experiment. When we use G.S.R.E. as photoelastic experiment model material, we had better use the G.S.R.E. which fiber volume ratio is less than 0.7% in the high temperature(stress freezing method) and than 1.74% in the room temperature. Relationships between stress fringe value and elastic modulus in transversely isotropic material are developed in this paper, it is assured by experiment that they are established in the room temperature or in the high temperature. Therefore we can obtain stress fringe value or elastic modulus from the relationships between stress fringe value and elastic modulus.
