This study reconstructs a two-dimensional stress field from measured strain data. The advantage of using stress functions is that the stress equilibrium and strain compatibility are automatically satisfied. We use the complex stress functions given by the finite series of polynomials. Then, we find the proper set of coefficients required to make the best fit to the measured strain data. Numerical examples represent the stress concentration problems around a hole(s) in a plate. It is demonstrated that the present method reconstructs the stress field around the hole(s), and the estimated stress agrees with the finite element (FE) analysis result.
