Abstract
An integrated frozen stress photoelastic and moiré interferometric method is briefly described and the results of applying the method to study boundary effects for several crack geometries in finite-thickness nearly incompressible bodies are discussed. Results confirm Benthem's analysis at the free surface but suggest a thick transitional zone through the thickness. A linear elastic fracture mechanics quantity called the corresponding stress-intensity factor is found to be a conservative way of interpreting test data near crack tips in elastic nearly incompressible materials.
