Abstract

This paper corrects assumptions made by previous authors regarding the magnitude of the error in d-versus-sin2ѱ plots resulting from deviations of the sample surface from the focusing circle. The results show that the effect is not significant for ordinary residual stress measurements. This investigation has also shown that shapes in d-versus- sin2ѱ plots, similar to the sample curvature effect, may exist in samples with large residual stresses. Interpretation of the data should consider the magnitude of the apparent stress, which allows one to distinguish between apparent sample curvature effects and other causes.

The factor of two difference between the theoretical and experimental values is mainly due to the nonuniform distribution of X-ray intensity across the beam, as explained by Hendricks and Jo [1].Google Scholar
