Polariscope Frame .
Description of Polariscope Frame
The Polariscope Frame
is a bench top mounted frame which allows the study of stress patterns
and photoelasticity resulting from geometrical changes in loaded
mechanical models.
Polariscope Frame
has integral slides into which fit quarter wave plates and polarisation
filters. These plates and filters can be rotated through 90° to vary
the colourisation seen by the user.
The
frame can sit on top of a light box or overhead projector. Rubber
mounting feet enable it to sit firmly onto the light source.
Experimental Capabilities of Polariscope Frame:
- Photoelastic analysis of standard mechanical models
- Analysis of Crane hook under tensile load
- Tensile loading of beams, perforated beams, plates, overlap element
- Variation of stress colourisation
- Rotational position of wave plate and filters
Specification of Polariscope Frame:
- Bench top unit for teaching of photoelastic principles
- Unit to be mounted on light box or overhead projector
- To be supplied with quarter wave plates and polarisation filters
- Wave plates and filters to easily slide in frame
- A variety of mechanical specimens supplied
- Adjustable loading mechanism
- To have fine tuning loading mechanism using loading spring, dial gauge and screwjack
- Wave plates and filters can be rotated through 90° to vary colourisation
