If we consider the friction or screw jacks used to lift a vehicle to change a flat, almost all of those are made entirely of metal (steel). In the case of hydraulic jacks, they are made largely of steel, and have rubber for seals and hydraulic fluid to provide the media to perform the hydraulic work.

What are photoelastic materials?

Photoelastic materials are transparent materials that change their optical properties when subjected to mechanical stress. When stress is applied, these materials exhibit a birefringence effect, which causes them to change colors or patterns under polarized light. They are commonly used in stress analysis and to visualize stress distributions in mechanical components.
