EVAL 7 - Features Residual Stress Analysis Software
EVAL 7: Description
The EVAL 7 software, developed by SINT Technology, is a complete and customizable software for data analysing
of the hole-drilling residual stress measurements.
Of course, the EVAL 7 software is fully compliant to the international standard ASTM E837-13afor residual stress
measurements by the hole-drilling strain-gage method. Moreover it offers several features for pre-processing the
data, for the calculation of the residual stresses and finally for the post-processing and exporting of the results.
The EVAL software can be provided in 5 different versions (BASIC, PROFESSIONAL, PREMIUM, ENTERPRISE and
ULTIMATE) depending on the features needed for specific applications.
EVAL 7: Calculation Options
In the EVAL software, some calculation method can be improved with powerful additional features. Indeed, some
of the standard calculation methods are based on the algorithms and the calculation coefficients reported in the
standard or in their reference scientific papers.
The EXTENDED option of the calculation methods (available for ASTM E837 and Differential methods) allows to
analyze the residual stress using the calibration coefficients re-calculated by SINT Technology using the
geometrical parameters of the rosette used in the test. If this option is selected, it’s possible to extent the filed of
applicability of the calculation methods using strain gage rosettes that can differ from the ones reported in the
reference standard / papers.
The ADVANCED option of the calculation methods (available for ASTM E837 and Differential methods) allows to
calculate the residual stress using the calibration coefficients, recalculated in real-time, that take in account not
only the geometrical parameters of the rosette used in the test but also the Poisson ratio of the material, the real
diameter of the drilled hole and some corrections as eccentricity and hole bottom chamfer or intermediate
thickness of the sample. This calculation option uses a Cartesian reference system of the rosette instead the equi-
biaxial and shear components: this generalised approach allows to include a complete correction for the hole
eccentricity error.
The EVAL 7 software includes the following calculation methods:
ASTM E837-13a for uniform stress field
ASTM E837-08 for uniform stress field
ASTM E837-13a for non uniform stress field
Integral Method (based on the papers of G.S. Schajer)
Differential method (based on the paper of Schwarz-Kockelmann)
HDM method based on the Influence Function methods (based on the papers of the University of Pisa)
The calculation methods can support corrections for the main sources of errors including the hole eccentricity,
the intermediate thickness, the bottom hole chamfer and the local plasticity. Finally, the EVAL 7 software
includes, for each calculation method both uniform and non-uniform, the uncertainly evaluation.
