← ScienceWhich consequence results when optical stress measurements neglect material birefringence?
A)Underestimating peak principal stress magnitudes✓
B)Overestimating minimum stress direction
C)Eliminating observed isochromatic fringes
D)Reversing isoclinic fringe orientations
💡 Explanation
Neglecting material birefringence causes misinterpreting measured stress states, because erroneous isoclinic parameters impact stress calculations using photoelasticity. Therefore, principal stress magnitudes are underestimated, rather than fringe patterns altering because birefringence compounds retardation measurements.
