Hybrid stress analysis

The synergism obtained by combining experimental information with numerical and/or theoretical concepts to stress analyze components made of isotropic and orthotropic (composite) materials is illustrated. Although applicable to a variety of experimental techniques, the paper emphasizes the use of measured moire, holographic, laser Doppler interferometric and thermoelastic data. Least-squares, collocation, complex stress functions, analytic continuation, conformal mapping, splines and FEM methods are employed.
