Q-STRESS v.1.0–a Tool for Determination of Stress Fields Using Digital Image Correlation Systems

The contribution deals with a description of noncommercial program, created for digital image correlation systems Dantec Dynamics. Described version of this product called Q-STRESS v.1.0 processes data exported from the software delivered together with correlation systems and allows fast and simply visualize displacement or strain fields and calculate the further to the stress fields. Moreover in chosen points the program allows depict the courses of displacements, strains as well as stresses during the loading process. In this contribution the description of the program is supplemented by its practical application in investigation of stress fields in the surroundings of small hole. Version 1.0 is created only for the analyses in elastic domain.
