Abstract
The formal similarity between the equation governing the diffusion of a substance through a “porous” isotropic material and the heat conduction equation for the temperature distribution in an isotropic homogeneous solid is examined, and its use as a basis for the photoelastic study of transient thermal stresses is explored.
