Relaxation methods, also called “destructive” methods, are commonly used to evaluate
residual stresses in a wide range of engineering components. While seemingly less …

An overview of analytical and numerical methods for prediction of residual stresses in
thermal spray coatings is presented. The various sources and mechanisms underlying …

Residual stresses can be defined as those stresses that remain in a body after
manufacturing or processing in the absence of external forces or thermal gradients. Virtually …

Background While near surface residual stress (NSRS) from milling is a driver for distortion
in aluminum parts there are few studies that directly compare available techniques for NSRS …

Large aluminium monolithic parts used in the aeronautic industry frequently show significant
geometric distortions after the machining process. These distortions are the consequence of …

Machining-induced residual stresses (MIRS) are a main driver for distortion of thin-walled
monolithic aluminum workpieces. Before one can develop compensation techniques to …

Surface integrity (SI) and, particularly, the residual stress profile, has a great influence on the
fatigue life of machined aeronautical critical parts. Among the different cutting parameters …

An effective procedure is presented that allows stable hole-drilling residual stress
calculations using strain data from measurements taken at many small increments of hole …

Background Distortion arises during machining of metallic parts from two main mechanisms:
1) release of bulk residual stress (BRS) in the pre-form, and 2) permanent deformation …

This paper analyzes the effect of tool wear on residual stresses when turning. Inconel 718
discs were machined for prolonged periods at several cutting speeds, feed-rates and depth …
