Stress distribution and variation on infrared thermograph and photoelastic technique

Abstract：Recently, the infrared thermograph technique comes to be one of the main methods for researching remote sensing rock mechanics. The photoelastic testing is an effective quantitative analysis method for mechanics. The information obtained by the two ways is connected with stress field. It is possible to get quantitative description about the stress distribution and variation of rock loaded if the two methods are coordinated.
