Abstract The most efficient photoelastic methods to obtain stress intensity factors are those based on stress functions series expansions. The coefficients of these expansions are fitted to the experimental isochromatic pattern using an overdeterministic Newton-Raphson least squares method. In this paper, a study has been carried out to analyze the influence on the results of several numerical and experimental factors. It is shown that accurate values of the stress intensity factorsK I andK II can be obtained by following some recommendations given in the text and summarized in the conclusions at the end of the paper.
