Tóm tắt

The SPATE (stress pattern analysis by thermal emissions) system is currently the standard equipment for thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA). A carefully designed test program that studied the behavior of four independent SPATE systems over an 8-month period is described. The response of each system is compared with the response of the other systems in the study.
