Extract

Instrumentation for X-ray stress analysis has been advanced rapidly in the last few years. Especially, the time required for data accumulation has been remarkably reduced without motion of the detector by using a new X-ray detector called a position sensitive detector (PSD). Applications of PSD to the field of X-ray stress analysis were carried out by James and Cohen, Ruud and Barrett, and the authors. In our laboratory, several position sensitive proportional counters (PSPCs) were designed and manufactured for residual stress measurements. Results show that the PSPC method is a powerful alternative to the conventional counter method or the film method.

This paper reports a design of a versatile PSPC X-ray stress analyzer for use in industry and the laboratory.
