The oscillation from a linear relation in the 20 vs. sin2ψ diagram has been a most important problem in X-ray stress measurement. There are, therefore, a number of papers concerned with the X-ray elastic constant, lattice strains under stresses and evaluation of stresses of textured materials.
The purpose of the present study is to analyze the three-dimensional orientation distribution of steel sheets by means of the Vector method proposed by Ruer and Baro, and to calculate the elastic modulus of textured sheets by means of a finite element method (FEM) using the three-dimensional orientation distribution, and then to calculate the strain/stress ratios vs. the directions defined by the angles between the specimen normal and the normal to the diffracting planes.
