Failure mechanisms observed using transparent fiberglass/epoxy birefringent materials. Technique based on use of transparent fiberglass/epoxy birefringent material. Transparency allows visual observation of location of initial laminate failure and of subsequent failure propagation; birefringence allows laminate stress distribution to be observed during test and also after test if permanent residual stresses occur. Nondestructive technique developed to observe failure as it develops and as propagates within laminate.
