ABSTRACT: The measurement of stress in structural components would be of great value in engineering. Here,
a numerical model is set up to expound experimental tests on a prestressed plate in the light of acoustoelasticity
and in view of the formulation of an inverse problem, in which response is measured and stress is identified.
The theor ...
