The objective of this research is to find new equations for a novelphase-shifting method in digital photoelasticity. Some innovations are proposed.In terms of phase-shifting, only the analyzer is rotated, and the otherequations are deduced by applying a new numerical technique instead of the usualalgebraic techniques. This approach can be used to calculate a larger sequenceof images. Each image represents a pattern and a measurement of the stressespresent in the object. A reduction in the difference between the theoretical andexperimental values of stresses was obtained by increasing the number of imagesin the equations for calculating phase. Every photographic image has errors andrandom noise, but the uncertainties due to these effects can be reduced with alarger number of observations.
