  • Publication number: 20090286076
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, on the surface of a material to be measured for stress analysis which has a stress-induced luminescent material layer formed thereon, a distortion energy is disclosed which is transmitted from a base material of a stress-induced luminescent material to the stress-induced luminescent material with high efficiency. The material to be measured for stress analysis has, on the surface thereof, a coating film layer, which emits light upon exposure to a change in distortion energy. The coating film layer is formed of a synthetic resin layer containing stress-induced luminescent particles, and the modulus of elasticity of a base material is not less than 1.0 GPa. The thickness of the coating film layer is preferably 1 ?m to 500 ?m.
