in this paper, the stress state in a plane truss node was studied in two ways: numerically using the finite element method and experimentally using the photoelasticity method. The finite element method was used to calculate plane truss model. Photoelasticity or polarization-optical method was used to research stresses of piezo-optical materials. The picture of interference fringe patterns in the model of a planetruss was obtained by the method of photoelasticity. Stresses were calculated with their help. The purpose of the work was compared with both methods. Fields of maximum tangent stresses were obtained in the sample plane using both methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
