Abstract: A method is described for combining incremental hole drilling with holographic interferometry to determine the distribution of in-plane residual stresses as a function of depth below the surface. ...

Abstract: The low-to-intermediate cycle fatigue behavior of A533B steel is investigated using solid round bar specimens tested in combined bending and torsion. Loadings are applied in-phase and 90 deg ...

Abstract: Current approaches widely used in fatigue and fracture evaluations of mechanical components are summarized. Metallic alloys, and fatigue and fracture behavior in the absence of environmental effects ...

Abstract: A promising new type of tilting pad journal bearing—the Fluid Pivot journal bearing—is described. The long development history of this bearing is summarized, showing how the design evolved through ...

Abstract: The strain gage blind hole-drilling technique may be used to determine residual stresses at and below the surface of components. In this paper, the hole-drilling analysis methodology for thick ...

Abstract: The strain gauge rosette hole drilling method is often used for determining residual stresses versus depth to depths on the order of 0.5–1.5 mm. Frequently, it is of interest to find stress ...

Abstract: A technique is described for the rapid determination of residual stresses through the combined use of hole drilling and holographic interferometry. A small diameter blind hole is drilled into ...
