Software for Processing and Analysis of Images on Injected Crystal Polystyrene Specimens in the Determination of Residual Stresses by Photoelasticity

摘要

This paper presents a software developed in Labview 2012, for processing and analysis of images using photoelasticity technique on crystal polystyrene molded parts. This software contains a main menu with four sections: image editing, maximum intensity measurement, detection of critical points internal stresses and RGB extraction. The detection of the critical points of internal stresses was not affected by the section of image edition to the measurement of intensities using the software validation. Also the software showed that low intensity was presented at standard temperatures of the injection process.
