Abstract
A contact gauge utilizable for determining contact pressure conditions between two bodies at their interface including a thin plastic sheet capable of memorizing an induced birefringence and a thin, load transmitting member attached to the sheet for inducing the birefringence therein. A method of employing the contact gauge for determining the contact pressure conditions between the two bodies also forms a part of the present invention.
