Abstract An effective hybrid method is demonstrated for stress analysis and heat transfer. Measured information is represented and differentiated analytically, while the number of unknown coefficients and amount of experimental input data needed are reduced through field equations. The approach is accurate, full-field, employs arbitrarily shaped elements, does not require a smoothing parameter and is well suited for computer-vision techniques. The concept is presently illustrated by moiré strain analysis, although it can be extended to other disciplines.
