Applied Measurement Australia Pty Ltd. is proud to announce that it distributes the Photostress® Analysis System, developed and manufactured by Micro-Measurement®, a Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (VPG) brand.

PhotoStress® Analysis System is a relatively easy to use technique to analyze the stress and strain profiles of “real life” objects. Based on the technique of reflecting polarized light through a photo-elastic coating, PhotoStress® is able to:

  • Identify the areas with the highest stress where failure will occur and zero stress so that material can be removed to reduce weight and save production costs
  • Provide a complete stress/ strain profile of objects of all shapes and sizes including identifying the magnitude and direction of the stresses/strains
  • Measure objects with live loads and different loading modes
  • Stress analysis tests include residual stress analysis, assembly stress inspection and fatigue tests, yielding, biomechanical tests
