Stressmaster Polariscope.
Stressmaster Polariscope
Primarily designed for educational use,
on the basis of an instrument for each student in a study group, the
polariscope can also be used to advantage in industry for the
optimisation of new product designs.
Teaching objectives
The Stressmaster polariscope can be utilised for the programmed learning of photoelastic principles.
Technical specifications
The facilities offered with the
Stressmaster polariscope cover the study of both isoclinics and
isochromatics, as well as the measurement of fractional fringe orders by
the Senarmont or Tardy methods.
A wide variety of model shapes can be analysed using the table-top
polariscope. Photoelastic models, produced in Photoflex material, may be
loaded in tension, compression or bending to suit analytical
requirements. The loaded models can be viewed in white light or,
alternatively, in an approximate monochromatic light by simply swinging a
green filter into the polarising field.
Model loading on the Stressmaster
polariscope is made by means of a deadweight system, utilising various
attachments for tensile, compressive and bending loads, as shown.
Optical Field : 152mm diameter.
A wooden cover is provided for enclosure of the polariscope when the unit is not in use.
Standard model shapes include beams, tension members, discs and hooks.
A standard set of six photoelastic models is supplied, together with step-by-step instructions and experimental results.
Dimensions and weight
Width : 305mm; Length: 380mm; Height: 310mm
