Abstract
This paper presents the design and construction of an optical didactic device, which allows us to visualize the stress fields as a color pattern, using polycarbonate specimens which were designed with geometric changes to obtain stress raisers. We begin with a brief explanation of the theoretical bases that explain the operation of the device, such as light polarization and photoelasticity. Finally, the results of the tests performed, the observation of the color bands and their respective analysis are shown.
Keywords
