Photoelasticity is a fantastic way to see what is usually invisible in mechanics: strain and 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:

The purpose of this wiki is to give an overview of the different methods to deal with photoelasticity:

This wiki is mainly managed by people interested in granular physics so most of the examples and methods given here are dedicated to the experimental study of granular matter. It does not mean that people interested in a different field will not find what they are looking for about photoelasticity, it just means that people interested or willing to study the marvellous and mysterious world of granular matter can find many details about how to set-up and run an experiment with photoelastic particles.
|
|
|
We also report this very nice [review paper](http://aip.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1063/1.4983052) on imaging methods in granular physics. It deals with most of the points detailed in this wiki.

It just means that people interested or willing to study the marvellous and mysterious world of granular matter can find many details about how to set-up and run an experiment with photoelastic particles and how to post-process images.

The different sections of this wiki refer to many scientific publications. This wiki itself is directly linked to a review paper to be published in [Granular Matter](https://link.springer.com/journal/10035). We also report here this very nice [review paper](http://aip.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1063/1.4983052) on imaging methods in granular physics. Both papers deal with most of the points detailed in this wiki.

Why should I participate to this group?
|
|
|
=======================================

We have chosen a wiki framework instead of a classical publication because we believe that this permits a lot of people to continuously bring their knowledge and [answer](https://git-xen.lmgc.univ-montp2.fr/PhotoElasticity/Main/wikis/question-answer) other people wandering about the different methods.
