MODELING OF THE STANDARD MACHINE TO REPRODUCE FIELDS OF MECHANICAL STRESSES

The paper concerns the problem of practical measurement of mechanical stresses in industrial objects. The signal dependencies of different nondestructive testing devices on the stresses are discussed. Results of numerical modeling of the mechanical stresses that can be reproduced by the suggested standard machine are presented. A number of questions that should be solved to turn nondestructive testing into the measurements of mechanical stresses is discussed.
