Jm. Dulieubarton et P. Stanley, DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS OF THERMOELASTIC STRESS-ANALYSIS, Journal of strain analysis for engineering design, 33(2), 1998, pp. 93-104
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.
