项目摘要

Birefringence is a difference in refractive index that occurs along different axes in a material. In some materials this effect is intrinsic due to the atomic structure. In other materials, artificial birefringence can be induced by a mechanical stress that produces anisotropies in the material. Polarized waves travel at different velocities through the stressed regions depending on their polarization direction. This phenomenon is exploited in the well-established technique of photoelasticity, in which a model of the component of interest is made in an optically transparent plastic material and placed between polarizing optics. The induced birefringence is directly proportional to the stress experienced at a given point: contours of constant difference in the principal stresses and contours of the principal stress direction appear as fringe patterns. The technique has played a fundamental role in experimental mechanics, design and manufacturing.This project is concerned with measuring the stress-induced birefringence in materials that are opaque at visible wavelengths. We will use THz illumination up to 7.5 THz where some fraction is transmitted through a range of non-polar materials including ceramics, plastics and composites. Measuring the stress-induced birefringence will provide information on the internal stress distribution in real components that are opaque at visible wavelengths, removing the need to model it in transparent plastic as in photoelasticity. Measurement from the real components also enables direct validation of numerical models. These new techniques will enable in-process control during manufacturing applications and in-service quality assurance, for a range of materials where this is not currently available, enabling step changes in the manufacturing processes used and the components that can be produced.

双折射是材料中沿不同轴发生的折射率差异。在某些材料中，由于原子结构，这种效应是固有的。在其他材料中，人工双折射可以由在材料中产生各向异性的机械应力引起。偏振波根据其偏振方向以不同的速度穿过应力区域。这种现象在成熟的光弹性技术中得到了利用，其中感兴趣组件的模型是用光学透明的塑料材料制成的，并放置在偏振光学器件之间。引起的双折射与给定点处所经历的应力成正比：主应力恒定差异的轮廓和主应力方向的轮廓显示为条纹图案。该技术在实验力学、设计和制造中发挥了基础作用。该项目涉及测量在可见波长下不透明的材料中的应力引起的双折射。我们将使用高达 7.5 THz 的太赫兹照明，其中一部分通过一系列非极性材料（包括陶瓷、塑料和复合材料）传输。测量应力引起的双折射将提供有关在可见波长下不透明的真实组件中的内应力分布的信息，从而无需像光弹性那样在透明塑料中对其进行建模。真实组件的测量还可以直接验证数值模型。这些新技术将实现制造应用过程中的过程控制和使用中的质量保证，适用于目前无法实现的一系列材料，从而实现所使用的制造工艺和可生产的组件的逐步改变。
