SBGBBG, a program to evaluate the macroscopic strain/stress tensor of a polycrystalline sample from X-ray reflection positions
Description
Abstract The evaluation of the strain/stress tensor from strain measured by X-ray diffraction requires a transformation from the sample system S to the laboratory system L. The transformation matrix A depends on the diffractometer geometry and the sample tilting. The conversion from strain to stress relies on poly-crystal elastic compliances S′_(mnop). The averaging is done about the orientation of the diffracting crystallites. The orientation distribution function (ODF) serves as weighting function... Title of program: SBGBBG Catalogue Id: ADAF_v1_0 Nature of problem Residual stresses in a polycrystalline sample cause changes in lattice plane distances which result in a shift of the X-ray reflections. The reflection shift depends on the measurement direction within the sample and therefore we can utilize the shift to evaluate the residual stress, i.e. the stress tensor.
