Abstract

This article deals with two methods of evaluating stress fields. Those are: photoelasticimetry and the finite element method (FEM). Stress analysis of castellated beams, with different geometry of holes in the vertical portion of the beam-web was performed by photoelasticimetry and the finite element method. The results obtained using experimental analysis and numerical modelling were evaluated and compared.
