| Description: | Special Report Abstract: This report contains a detailed review of the theory and design of photoelastic transducers for measuring loads, strains, stresses and pressures. The measurement of engineering parameters under the adverse conditions normally encountered in the mining and civil engineering industries presents great problems, particularly where such measurements are to be made over long periods of time. Photoelastic transducers have distinct advantages over competing equipment in this respect in that the parameters to be measured are revealed as light interference fringes and the measuring gage itself often need consist of nothing more than simple steel and glass components. Examples of such gages are given in the report. The majority of the work reported here was carried out by the staff and students of the Postgraduate School of Mining, Sheffield University.
