Abstract: This paper discusses residual stress distributions induced by repairing a stainless steel girth weld in a 19-mm thick pipe of outer diameter 541 mm. In particular, the effects of repair weld ...

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: Application of electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) is described to measure the spatial variation in monotonic tensile stress-strain properties along “cross-weld” specimens machined from ...
