Synchrotron Based X-Ray Strain Mapping in Fatigued Materials Subjected to Overloading
Abstract
The application of high-resolution strain mapping in large engineering samples with both high-spatial and strain resolution is reviewed in this report using high- energy photons between 100 and 300 KeV on beam line X17B1 of Brookhaven National Laboratory. This was achieved by using Energy Dispersive X-ray Diffraction (EDXRD) methods and synchrotron radiation for the nondestructive measurement of residual stresses in engineering components. Examples of residual stresses profiles will be presented which include: laser and shot peening and fatigue crack stress fields. The presented results have been validated with other methods such as FE and other model predictions. This technique represents a significant development in the in life prediction of engineering structures including large naval structures.
