Stress Measurement Applications

Because of the versatility of the StressProbe technology, it can be used in a wide range of in-service and construction applications. These can include the measurement of static and dynamic stress and in some cases residual stress. Examples of possible applications are measurement in transport vehicles (axles, wheels, suspension), environmental loading situations (wave or wind loading on offshore structures, ships, risers, mooring lines), on bridges and masts, for plant situations where the operating pressures are varying (pressure vessels, piping) and for monitoring long range residual stresses during welding.

StressProbe can also be used to map the stress distribution in structures. It can for example be used for measuring the distribution along a loaded beam or alternatively the stress at a particular site e.g. the flange and web distributions around a cross-section.
