Excerpts from the Reviews of the book on Digital Photoelasticity(Pattern I) The author has produced a first class text book that should find widespread use among students, researchers, and design engineers in many branches of engineering... Applied Mechanics Reviews 55(4) B69-B71 JUL 2002 The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM of the C source code of the programs referred to in the text along with some photoelasticity simulations and some hardware-specific code. The text is supported by ample end-of-chapter tutorial questions...
