Abstract: The application of two-parameter approaches to describe crack-tip stress fields has generally focused on Ramberg–Osgood (RO) power law material behavior, which limits the range of applicability ...

Abstract: Residual stress distributions in ferritic steel T-plate weldments have been obtained using the neutron diffraction method. It is shown that the transverse residual stress distribution for two ...

Abstract: Residual stresses have been introduced into a notched compact tension specimen of a 347 weld material by mechanical compression. The required level of compressive load has previously been ...
