Test platesStress Test for Polycarbonate

Mark Yeager, principal engineer, Bayer MaterialScience LLC, discusses photoelastic stress analysis of polycarbonate medical parts in his recent technical paper. Photoelastic testing provides a quick, nondestructive method for evaluating molded-in or applied stresses in transparent, polycarbonate medical parts. Testing samples in this manner can provide a wealth of information about the location and extent of stresses which can be extrapolated to pinpoint issues with the molding operation.
