The photoelastic and moiré techniques are used to investigate elastic and elastoplastic distribution of stresses and strains around a 45° V notch with a circular base. It is shown that the plastic flow takes place in the highly stressed region; resulting in considerable increase in the strain ratios while lowering the stress ratios. The stress relaxation accompanying the plastic distortion causes significant changes in the general elastic distribution pattern.
