Residual stress software

Residual stress measurements require to process all data acquired during a residual stress test.
SINT Technology, a company specialized in testing, analysis and diagnostic services applied to stress, vibration and noises, designed and developed the EVAL 7,  a specific residual stress software fully compliant to the ASTM E837-13a standard for hole drilling measurements.
Moreover SINT Technology, thanks to its highly qualified laboratory, provides highly qualified software and services for a wide variety of industrial applications for measurement, inspection and automation.

The main fields of application for the software that SINT Technology develops are:

• Strain gauge and residual stress measurements
• Acquisition of data for vibration and noise analysis
• Acquisition and processing of the thermodynamic parameters for testing and monitoring machine and plant performance
• Balancing of rotating machinery
• Test facility automation
• Precision static data logging
• High frequency data logging

SINT Technology has a wide range of measurement products that are provided with software systems for a perfect operation. The experience gained in the measurement field has been essential to develop support software for even complex measurement systems.
One of these is the EVAL, a residual stress analysis software, recently updated from the 6 version (EVAL 6) to the 7 one (EVAL 7).

Compared to the EVAL 6, in the EVAL 7 the standard algorithms are improved with additional features and a better graphical overview including a further database of strain gage rosettes and materials. Moreover, a new theoretical algorithm, named HDM, has been implemented: this model is able to provide a further analysis of the residual stress field that improves even more the standard residual stress analysis.

At last, the EVAL 7 software is fully compliant to the new version of the ASTM E837-13a standard.

This updated residual stress software, with its new graphical layout, makes easier, intuitive and sequential the calculation process during a residual stress analysis, especially when it requires a long time and several repetitions: all these new features make the EVAL 7 software an essential tool for all residual stress measurements.
