Digital Photoelasticity by K Ramesh
2000. XX, 410 pp. 211 figs., 39 tabs., with CD-ROM. Springer (ISBN: 3-540-66795-4)
A straightforward introduction to basic concepts and methodologies for digital photoelasticity,
providing a foundation on which future researchers and students can develop their own ideas.
The book thus promotes research into the formulation of problems in digital photoelasticity
and the application of these techniques to industries. Particular care has been taken to give a clear,
straightforward, and simple presentation of various topics. In one volume it provides data acquisition
by DIP techniques, data analysis by statistical techniques, data presentation by computer graphics and
the use of Rapid Prototyping technologies to enhance the speed of the entire process.
The book not only presents the various techniques but also provides time-tested software codes for
important techniques. Exercises designed to support and extend the treatment have been placed at the end of each chapter.
