Stress measurements Bi-axial stress
X’Pert Stress is dedicated to the results, sin2ψ
analysis of XRD residual stress plots.
measurements according to the
classical sin2ψ method. Both
measurement types known as the psi-
stress and omega-stress variant are
covered.
Pattern Treatment
X’Pert Stress offers a wide range of
pattern treatments. Nine different
methods to determine the exact
peak position are included. Even
more important are the corrections
of the peak position to take several
second order effects into account.
XEC Calculator
The built-in X-ray Elastic Constants
(XEC) calculator uses 5 different
methods to calculate the XEC's
s1 and 1/2s2 as needed for residual
stress analysis:
• Isotropic case
• Reuss
• Voigt
• Hill's weighted average
• Quasi-isotropic model
