Application of localized hybrid methods of stress analysis to some problems in the mechanics of composites

A new method of stress analysis which combines an experimental technique — moire interferometry, and a numerical method — finite element analysis, is presented. In this localized hybrid method, the displacement fields which the moire experiments provide in some local regions of interest are used as...
