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 …

The experimental measurement of residual stresses originating within thick coatings
deposited by thermal spray processes onto solid substrates plays a fundamental role in the …

A comprehensive experimental study, focusing on distortions and residual stresses, is
conducted on a total of nine box sections with single-bevel butt welds consisting normal …

Background Measurement precision and uncertainty estimation are important factors for all
residual stress measurement techniques. The values of these quantities can help to …

This paper describes the results of a residual stress measurement repeatability study using
the contour method. The test specimen is an aluminum bar (cut from plate), with cross …

The paper describes a test rig designed to check and assess the accuracy of the incremental
hole drilling (IHD) method. An external load produces a controlled linearly through thickness …

Orthotropic steel decks are widely used in the bridge engineering practice due to light
weight, high performance and high ultimate strength-to-weight ratio. Purpose of the current …

Background There are various experimental measurement techniques used to measure
residual stress and this work describes one such method, the slotting method, and its …

This paper proposes an analysis of the fine-increment hole-drilling and of the x-ray
diffraction methods for residual stress measurement. This analysis was carried out on some …

A wide variety of residual stress measurement techniques exist, but hole drilling is one of the
most widely used. It is relatively simple, inexpensive, quick and versatile, and can be both …
