Photoelastic stress of knives and forks F008 / 2032
Coloured light interference pattern of knives and forks. When photographed through cross-polarised white light some transparent plastics display coloured interference effects, according to the pattern of residual stress within the plastic (a result of moulding manufacturing). Areas of similar colour represent regions under similar degrees of stress. This phenomenon, known as photoelasticity, is utilised in engineering situations. Plastic models of bridges, gears, axles, etc may be made and subjected to proportional loads in order to predict the stress patterns that might occur in the real objects

This visually stunning print showcases the intriguing phenomenon of photoelasticity, where transparent plastics display vibrant coloured interference patterns when viewed through cross-polarised white light. A perfect addition to any classroom, laboratory, or office, this poster is a captivating reminder of the beautiful science hidden in the everyday. Immerse yourself in the wonder of physics with Media Storehouse's high-quality poster prints.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 39.6cm x 59.4cm (15.6" x 23.4")
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing world of photoelastic stress in knives and forks. Against a striking black background, the close-up image reveals a vibrant coloured light interference pattern that emerges when transparent plastics are photographed through cross-polarised white light. The intricate patterns seen here represent the residual stress within the plastic, resulting from the manufacturing process. Each area of similar colour signifies regions under comparable degrees of stress. This phenomenon, known as photoelasticity, finds practical application in engineering situations. Engineers utilize this technique by creating plastic models of various objects like bridges, gears, and axles. These models are then subjected to proportional loads to predict potential stress patterns that may occur in real-life scenarios. By understanding these stress distributions beforehand, engineers can design structures capable of withstanding such pressures. This remarkable scientific imaging technique is part of non-destructive testing methods employed in laboratories worldwide. The use of polarized light enables researchers to visualize and analyze stresses without causing any harm or damage to the materials being tested. Through this visually stunning photograph captured by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we gain insight into how technology and scientific advancements continue to shape our understanding of materials' behavior under different conditions – ultimately leading us towards safer and more efficient designs for everyday objects like cutlery.
