Applications

Several of applications of the contour method:

Stresses measured in new and worn railroad rails.	Stresses measured in friction stir welded Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V.
Stresses measured in cold compressed 7050 aluminum hand forging.	Residual stresses mapped in a dissimilar aluminum alloy friction stir weld
Stresses measured in a bent beam. Compared with known stresses from bending.	Stresses measured in a butt-welded plate. Compared with neutron diffraction results.
Stresses measured in a quenched HSLA-100 steel plate.	Stresses measured in a penetrated HSLA-100 steel plate.
