Description
Summary:The pyRS (Python residual stress) analysis software was designed to address the data reduction and analysis needs of the High Intensity Diffractometer for Residual Stress Analysis (HIDRA) user community. pyRS implements frameworks for the calibration and reduction of measured 2D data into intensity versus scattering vector magnitude and subsequent single‐peak‐fitting analysis to facilitate texture and residual strain/stress analysis. pyRS components are accessible as standalone user interfaces for peak‐fitting and stress/strain analysis or as Python scripts. The scripting interface facilitates automated data reduction and peak‐fitting analysis using an autoreduction protocol. Details of the implemented functionality are discussed. This article is an overview of the pyRS software package, used for the reduction and analysis of data measured at the residual stress mapping instrument at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's High Flux Isotope Reactor.
