Abstract: A data processing apparatus according to one aspect is provided with an inference unit configured to predict at least one objective variable from a plurality of explanatory variables by using a trained model, and a display data generation unit configured to generate data for displaying an inference result by the inference unit. The inference unit is configured to set a first explanatory variable selected from the plurality of explanatory variables as a variation value and set second explanatory variables other than the first explanatory variable as fixed values. The inference unit predicts, by using the trained model, the at least one objective variable when the first explanatory variable is continuously varied within a predetermined variation range. The display data generation unit generates data indicating a variation of the at least one objective variable with respect to a variation of the first explanatory variable.

Abstract: Provided is a stress measurement device capable of easily grasping the behavior of a stress generation site in a sample. The stress measurement device is provided with a camera for imaging light emitted by a stress luminescent material, a controller for processing an image captured by the camera, and a display for displaying the image processed by the controller. The controller detects the stress generation site according to a luminescence distribution of the stress luminescent material for each of the plurality of time-series images captured by the camera and controls the display such that each stress generation site detected for each of the plurality of images is displayed on one image in a superimposed manner in mutually different display modes.

Abstract: A stress luminescence measurement device according to a first aspect is provided with a load application mechanism configured to deform a sample by applying a load to the sample, a light source configured to emit excitation light to a stress luminescent material 2 arranged on a surface of the sample, a camera configured to image luminescence of the stress luminescent material, and a controller configured to control the load application mechanism, the light source, and the camera. The controller acquires a deformation state of the sample at the imaging timing by the camera and stores the acquired deformation state of the sample in association with the image captured by the camera in a memory.
