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 "<em>Slitting and Contour Method Residual Stress Measurements in an Edge Welded Beam</em>" Hosseinzadeh et al. (2012), and further information on the specimen background and diffraction based results can be found in "<em>A statistical framework for analysing weld residual stresses for structural integrity assessment</em>" 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.
