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: The paper examines the problems associated with applying proof-test-based life prediction to vessels made of high-toughness metals. Two A106 Gr B pipe specimens containing long, through-wall, ...

Abstract: The shrink fit of a finite band on an infinite elastic thick-walled circular cylinder is formulated in terms of inhomogeneous dual integral equations. The solution is obtained by the series ...

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 ...
