About this document
Fringe Sharpening with Partial Mirrors by Jyothishkumar M is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses fringe sharpening using partial mirrors in photoelasticity. Photoelasticity uses polarized light to visualize stress distributions in materials. A polariscope is used, which can be plane or circular. Isochromatic fringes indicate constant principal stress difference, while isoclinics show principal stress directions. Partial mirrors placed parallel to the loaded photoelastic model in a circular polariscope reduce the bandwidth of isochromatic fringes, sharpening the fringe patterns.
