1. A method of quantizing flexure in a material, the method comprising the steps of:

  • providing a photoelastic material;

    flexing the photoelastic material into a first flexed orientation;

    passing a first light signal through said photoelastic material disposed in said first flexed orientation, the first light signal exiting the photoelastic material at a plurality of points over the surface of the photoelastic material as a first modified light signal; and

    ,in a neural network based on said first modified light signal, generating a first output signal representative of a first degree of flexure in said photoelastic material disposed in said first orientation.
