Studies into SCF Measurement

建议使用电磁应力测量设备，以加强现有设施，以便进行直接测量焊接趾部应力集中系数的研究。没有其他研究机构拥有这种设备，其中的几个关键要素将由首席研究员指定。没有这些资金，只能研究测量和监测名义（或远程）应力；虽然这本身就是一个渐进的活动（增量），但使用非接触式技术直接测量应力集中系数是一个新颖而激进的想法，如果成功，肯定会导致一个新的研究领域。

The proposal is for Electromagnetic Stress Measurement Equipment to enhance existing facilities so that studies of direct measurement of the Stress Concentration Factor at a weld toe can be made. No other research institution has this equipment, several key elements of which will be specified by the Principal Investigator. Without these funds only measurement and monitoring nominal (or remote) stresses can be studied; whereas this is itself a progressive activity (incremental) the use of a non contacting technique to directly measure Stress Concentration Factor is a novel and radical idea that if successful would certainly lead to a new area of research.
