2D stress-distribution imaging using 3D transparent stimulus-responsive color-changing rubber
Abstract
chemical stress, directing the blue-to-red color change. As the red-color intensity increases with increasing applied compression stress, the strength is colorimetrically quantified. The transparent 3D device enables 2D distribution imaging of the compression stresses applied by irregularly shaped 3D objects in the millimeter to the centimeter scales. The device design can be applied to achieve 2D stress-distribution imaging in various length scales and strength ranges.
