Which consequence results when mechanical actuators stress a photoelastic material?

💡 Explanation

Stress causes temporary anisotropy, therefore polarized light experiences varying refractive indices; this is stress-induced birefringence; the polarization angle rotates proportionally to the principal stress difference, rather than the other effects, because this aligns with stress tensor.
