Fundamental problems in engineering are now being solved by optical methods. Stress on materials, thermodynamic properties, elasticity are some of the factors that can be measured or estimated by using optical techniques. The physics behind all these powerful methods is very rich, goes from spectroscopy to photoelasticity. The research in this field aims to understand full scale objects using two and three dimensional models, the strain fields at the surface of materials or constructions, and also on transparent materials such as organic and inorganic glasses and monocrystals. The ability to measure in real time and non-invasively variations of certain physical quantities brought into the solids mechanics some of the measurements needed to compute with speed and accuracy some of the hallmark features. This book takes some examples that covers the most relevant methods in specific applications to some materials and giving a little inside into the physics of the techniques involved. Optical methods in experimental solid mechanics, yielding field information, combined with digital image processing and on-line evaluation of the experimentally obtained data by means of numerical procedures enable the stress-strain analysis of many problems, which couldn’t be analysed satisfactorily as yet. Thus the effects of non-linear elastic, of viscoelastic material response and of any combination of such materials on the stress-strain state can be considered. Hybrid techniques, i.e. the combination of measurement techniques with numerical methods for data evaluation based on advanced mathematical algorithms yield reliable knowledge on the actual state and the real reactions of any kind of structures. The possibilities of direct measure are nowadays extremely rare and to measure implies besides manipulation of complex measuring systems, understanding of measurand and limit of application of measurement method. Stress analysis has been considered for some time as a distinct professional branch of engineering, the main objective to determine and improve the mechanical strength of elements, structures and machines. Experimental stress analysis strives to achieve these aims by experimental means. In the investigation of problems of mechanical strength, many factors make the experimental approach indispensable, and often the only means of access. In addition to this, theoretical considerations are usually based on simplifying assumptions which imply certain deviations from reality, and it can be established only by experimentation whether such idealization do not produce an undue distortion of the problem. Using experimental stress analysis is required especially if the analysis is done under real service conditions, where thre are all the influential factors such properties of the employed materials, the methods of manufacture and the operation conditions. A special place among the experimental techniques is occupied by optical methods. Among their numerous possible applications, they can help the researcher to characterize the materials’ behaviour, to give access to the time-evolution of fields of data at different scales and maybe, the most important advantage, they are non-contact and provide full-field data that are naturally suitable for direct comparison with numerical solutions.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Romtrade Corp., Irving, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
