Key Features:

• Establishes the basics of photoelasticity with clarity to serve as a primary reference for users of the methodology

• Explains phase-shifting methods that are robust enough to allow the reader to implement them with ease.

• Explores modern methods based on colour information processing using a single isochromatic image as well as use of conventional polariscopes for complete photoelastic analysis.

• Provides carrier fringe analysis tools for quantifying low stress field information for special applications.

• Extensive information on a variety of applications of photoelasticity covering domains ranging from biomedical to aerospace to civil engineering applications.

• Highlights large scale photoelastic studies in granular materials with applications in plant biology, neurobiology and biomimetics
