Abstract
The theory of thermoelastic stress analysis is reviewed and the implic ations of some theoretical developments are assessed. Available instru mentation is described and techniques available for separation of indi vidual stress values are summarized. The scope of the technique is ill ustrated with reference to a number of applications covering crack-tip stress studies, stress analysis and damage assessment in composite ma terials, and 'field' work on a traffic-loaded road bridge.
