A Comprehensive Program for Automating Residual Stress Measurements by X-Rays.

Abstract

The software design of a complete computer controlled X-ray residual stress is described. The program will operate using either a position sensitive detector or a diffractometer for data accumulation. For use with a diffractometer, optimization of the time of data accumulation for a prescribed statistical counting error is presented. The peak location routine using a multiple pass refinement of the peak position is detailed.
