About this item
07 Forces in a photoelastic avalanche's image
Description: This is a video of a novel experiment where photoelastic discs are rolled down a narrow, inclined chute. Here the forces exerted when discs interact can be measured from the intensities of the light they transmit with the aim of investigating how stresses are distributed within avalanches.
