Abstract: The influence of various assumptions on the modeling of cleavage fracture in the presence of residual stresses was investigated. Analyses were undertaken for modified single edge notched bend ...

Abstract: This paper presents measurements of the in-plane residual stress components through the wall of a 218mm long, 26mm deep repair weld, offset by 7mm from the centerline of a girth weld joining ...

Abstract: Side-punching is proposed as a method of introducing a well-defined residual stress field into a laboratory-sized test specimen. Such a specimen may subsequently be used to assess the influence ...
