Abstract: Corrections were made to Table 1 where the number of significant digits therein were increased to twelve, which is necessary to obtain accurate numerical results (tables available for download ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of strain gage length on residual stress estimated by the slitting (or crack compliance) method. This effect is quantified for a range of gage length normalized ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental measurements of the through-thickness distribution of residual stress in a ceramic-metallic functionally graded material (FGM). It further presents an error analysis ...

Abstract: This paper presents measurements of the thickness-average residual stress imposed by laser peening near the edge of a thin sheet of a common titanium alloy. The slitting (or crack compliance) ...

Abstract: Measuring the spatial variation of residual stresses often requires the solution of an elastic inverse problem such as a Volterra equation. Using a maximum likelihood estimate (least squares ...

Abstract: This paper examines the effects of laser peening on Alloy 22 (UNS N06022), which is the proposed material for use as the outer layer on the spent-fuel nuclear waste canisters to be stored ...
