*[Inverting the problem to get force measurements]()
What is the global purpose of this group?
=========================================
The pupose of this git is to give an overview of the different methods to deal with photoelasticity.
Photoelasticity is a fantastic way to see what is usually invisible in mechanics: stresses. It can be used for educational, scientific, industrial and even artistic purposes. However, it is not always easy to understand [how it works](https://git-xen.lmgc.univ-montp2.fr/PhotoElasticity/Main/wikis/photoelasticimetry) and with [which material](https://git-xen.lmgc.univ-montp2.fr/PhotoElasticity/Main/wikis/method-make). The purpose of this wiki is to give an overview of the different methods to deal with photoelasticity: how to [make samples](https://git-xen.lmgc.univ-montp2.fr/PhotoElasticity/Main/wikis/method-make), how to [image]() and how to [analyze]() data.
What is right now th main focus of this group?
==============================================
At first the focus will be on [making photoealstic samples](https://git-xen.lmgc.univ-montp2.fr/PhotoElasticity/Main/wikis/method-make).
Who is or have participated to this group?
