What are the stresses in gear tooth ⚙️

Life is like gear teeth, must be kept in sync and at low stress.

For testing various full-field, live-load conditions, our PhotoStress® Technology stress analysis method is your ultimate tool.

Determine stress and strain with a visual method employing photoelastic materials under polarized light. On your test surface, a colored fringe pattern appears, providing visual evidence of the magnitude and direction of strain at any point. In this PhotoStress® method, a coating of photoelastic material is applied to the test surface (a variety of photoelastic coatings are available for application on simple or complex shapes in a wide range of materials, including metal, composite, and concrete). Strain and stress are transmitted to the photoelastic coating on the product’s surface.
