The application of the thermoelastic technique (SPATE) to two different composite material specimens is described and the results are critically discussed. The relevant theory, which permits a quantitative interpretation of the thermoelastic response from orthotropic materials, is outlined.

The theory of thermoelastic stress analysis is reviewed and the implications of some theoretical developments are assessed. Available instrumentation is described and techniques available for separation of individual stress values are summarized. The scope of the technique is illustrated with reference to a number of applications covering crack-tip stress studies, stress analysis and damage assessment in composite materials, and ‘field’ work on a traffic-loaded road bridge.
