The invention provides a variable
temperature stress detection method based on a
transverse wave birefringence sound-to-
time ratio. Comprising the following steps: 1, calibrating a sample, and measuring
propagation time in a
parallel polarization direction and
transverse wave propagation time in a vertical polarization direction; 2, calculating a sound-
time ratio according to the obtained
propagation time, and obtaining a stress calculation formula; 3, measuring
transverse wave velocities in the sample at different temperatures to obtain a temperature-
wave velocity coefficient, and measuring transverse
wave propagation velocities in a
parallel polarization direction and a vertical polarization direction in the sample at a calibration temperature to obtain
temperature correction coefficients in the two directions; 4, correcting the propagation time of the transverse wave in the
parallel polarization direction and the propagation time of the transverse wave in the vertical polarization direction by using the
temperature correction coefficient obtained in the step 3; 5, substituting the corrected propagation time and the
temperature correction coefficient into the stress calculation formula in the step 2 to obtain a shear wave
birefringence temperature correction stress calculation formula based on the sound-
time ratio; and 6, measuring the propagation time and the
temperature difference of the transverse wave in the sample, and substituting into a correction stress calculation formula to obtain a corresponding stress value.
