Custom and off-the-shelf applications for internal residual stress measurement on plates, train wheels, and thick structures using portable and integrated solutions. The technique uses two orthogonal linearly polarized Shear Horizontal waves at 0 and 90 degrees to provide a birefringence measurement that is directly correlated with internal stress.

Innerspec’s residual stress measurement application can be installed on POWERBOX H providing a completely portable solution that can easily be used in the field and the factory floor.
