title: Three-dimensional stress distribution measurement in a model of the human ankle joint by scattered-light polarizer photoelasticity: part 2.
abstract: The stress distribution in a model of the human ankle joint was measured nondestructively by using scattered-light polarizer photoelasticity [Kihara et al., Appl. Opt. 24, 3363 (1985)]. The present paper describes experimental results for 3-D stress distributions for front and side views of three solid models of the human ankle joint under static loading, which have different dorsiflexions; they are measured nondestructively using this method. The three ankle joint models correspond to the 10 degrees dorsiflexion, the neutral, and the 10 degrees plantar flexion positions, respectively.
