EC 5th Framework ENPOWER austenitic edge welded beam contour cut metrology for assessing residual stress

Data from contour method cut surfaces collected from an autogenously edge-welded AISI 316H stainless steel beam produced as part of ENPOWER. Surfaces were generated as part of a slitting experiment and then subsequently measured with a coordinate measurement machine. This dataset forms the basis for "Slitting and Contour Method Residual Stress Measurements in an Edge Welded Beam" Hosseinzadeh et al. (2012), and further information on the specimen background and diffraction based results can be found in "A statistical framework for analysing weld residual stresses for structural integrity assessment" Nadri et al. (2008).

Datasets are in the form of lists of x,y.z coordinates, with one point per line, whitespace delimited in millimeters. The *Perimeter1.txt file coincides with *Surface1.txt, with the former an outline identifying the cut surface periphery, and the latter points lying on the surface. The same format is employed for the other side of the cut.
