Dynamic photo-elasticity has been employed to determine the stress concentration factor at a central circular hole in a strut subjected to axial impact. The model was machined from a low modulus photo-elastic material (a urethane rubber compound known commercially as Hysol 8705), and the photographs of the dynamic fringe patterns were taken with a ‘Fastax’ camera or a microflash-camera combination.
