A multi-purpose polariscope is developed by applying an electro-mechanical control system to a diffused transmission-type circular polariscope. A conventional polariscope is only good for manual control of optical elements. The new polariscope system is devised to be controlled through two stepping motors and two magnetic clutches. The developed system has both functions of a conventional linear- and circular-polariscope. The new polariscope can be used not only for the point-wise measurement using Tardy compensation technique but also for the full-field fringe analysis using conventional and/or phase measuring techniques, if applicable.

This paper describes the construction of a circular polariscope. Generally, a circular polariscope contains four optical elements and a light source. The first element following the light source is called the linear polarizer. It converts the ordinary light into plane-polarized light. The second element is a quarter wave plate which converts the plane-polarized light into circularly polarized light. Following the quarter wave plate, a specimen made of transparent photoelastic material is located in a loading device. The second quarter wave plate is set and the last element is the analyzer. These polarizing elements, two quarter wave plates and two linear polarizing filters, were purchased from the USA. Frames and other structures for holding polarizing filters were machined and assembled to be rotated. Light box, which includes four incandescent lamps and two sodium-vapor lamps, was made. In order to proof the function of the newly built polariscope, Tardy compensation test was applied to a rectangular shaped specimen made of poly-carbonate material (PSM 1). The error of the fringe constant, which was measured by the newly built polariscope, was within 4.4 percent compared to the standard value of this material. It is possible to make a good quality of polariscope if accurate polarizing filters will be used.

광섬유의 잔류응력(residual stress)을 측정하기 위해 위상보정 편광기(polariscope)를 새롭게 구성하고, 간섭이나 회절에 대한 영향을 최소화시키면서 빠르고 정확하게 측정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이 방법을 이용하여 일반 광섬유의 잔류 응력 분포를 측정할 수 있었다. 또한 광섬유의 잔류응력이 모재의 잔류응력분포와 달리 인출 시 발생하는 광섬유 내 온도의 냉각곡선에 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Photoelasticity is an experimental technique for stress and strain analysis that is particularly useful for members having complicated geometry, complicated loading conditions, or both. The principle and engineering applications of photoelastic stress analysis are briefly reviewed. Experimental stress analysis with Reflection Polariscope at KIMM Structural Mechanics Laboratory was applied to the following practices: Stress analysis of the crosshead of the structural fatigue testing machine; Experimental safety verification of domestic excavator.

A new polariscope system involving two rotating optical elements and a digital camera for whole field fringe analysis allows automated data to be acquired quickly and efficiently. The developed phase measuring technique that uses eight images through a circular polariscope is presented for the digital measurement of isochromatics and isoclinics, respectively, from photoelastic fringes in a circular disk under diametric compression. Isochromatics can directly be obtained using wrapped isoclinic phases calculated by the arc tangent operator which is the four-quadrant operator from -$\pi$ to $\pi$. It is not required to unwrap isoclinic phases for the calculations of isochromatics. Unwrapped isoclinics are directly determined from isochromatic parameters. Distributions of digitally determined isoclinics are in close agreement to manual measurements. The errors which would appear in unwrapping process of isoclinics can be avoided in the determination of isochromatics.

Photoelasticity is widely and conveniently used methods for whole field stress analysis. In this paper, 8-step photoelastic phase shifting method was performed by using a multi-purpose polariscope to measure the fringe orders along a specified line on the specimen containing a square hole. The material of the specimen is made of Polycarbonate. The measurement results by 8-step phase shifting method were compared with the those calculated by ABAQUS.

렌즈에 가한 응력을 측정하기 위한 편광기는 1/4 파장판-편광판으로 구성하였고, 각 단계별 광파의 $E_1$, $E_2$의 성분을 분석하였다. 주 응력차 ${\sigma}_1-{\sigma}_2$는 무늬 차수(N)가 시료 각 점에서 분석되고, 시료의 광축은 주 응력 방향과 일치하는 것으로부터 2 차원 모델을 결정할 수 있다. 광파에 작용하는 복굴절성과 위상지연은 주 응력차 (${\sigma}_1-{\sigma}_2$)에 비례하고, 최종 광파의 세기는 $sin^2({\Delta}/2)$에 비례하고, ${\Delta}/2=n^{\pi}$ (n=0, 1, 2, ...)일 때 소멸 무늬인 흡광이 일어난다. 실험적 결과로는 렌즈의 외부 응력의 크기에 따라 흡광 band가 이동한다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of orthopedic forces on the craniofacial complex utilizing the three kinds of the head gear. (high pull head gear, straight pull head gear, cervical pull head gear) For this study, the teeth and alveolar bone and palate were reproduced from birefringent materials and other parts of craniofacial complex were coated with birefringent material on the model. The effect of orthopedic forces on the craniofacial complex was analyzed by photoelastic method using transmission polariscope and reflection polariscope. The results were as follows. 1. The cervical pull head gear had the greatest tipping effect on the maxillary molars and high pull head gear had the least tipping effect. 2. In areas stressed, the cervical pull head gear stressed the greatest degree. 3. Only cervical pull head gear produced stress at the zygomaticofrontal suture and the posterior region of palate. 4. The straight pull head gear and high pull head gear produced stress at just inferior to the anterior nasal spine. 5. The cervical pull head gear and straight pull head gear produced tensile stress at the fronto-maxillary suture. 6. The pterygoid plates of the sphenoid bone, the zygomatic arches, the junction of the maxilla with the lacrimal and ethmoid bone, and the maxillary molars were affected by three types of head gear.

The method of photoelasticity allows one to obtain principal stress differences and principal stress directions in a photoelastic model. In the classical approach, the photoelastic parameters are measured manually point by point. This is time consuming and requires skill in the identification and measurement of photoelastic data. Fringe phase shifting method has been recently developed and widely used to measure and analyze fringe data in photo-mechanics. This paper presents the test results of photoelastic fringe phase shifting method for the stress analysis of a curved beam plate. The technique used here requires four phase stepped photoelastic images obtained from a circular polariscope by rotating the analyzer at 0˚, 45˚, 90˚ and 135˚. Experimental results are compared with those of ANSYS and calculated by the simple beam theory. Good agreement among the results can be observed.
