Residual Stress

Abstract

In many cases residual stresses are one of the main factors determining the engineering properties of parts and structural components. This factor plays a significant role, for example, in fatigue of welded elements. The influence of residual stresses on the multicycle fatigue life of butt and fillet welds can be compared with the effects of stress concentration. The main stages of residual stress management are considered in this chapter with the emphasis on practical application of various destructive and nondestructive techniques for residual stress measurement in materials, parts, and welded elements. Some results of testing showing the role of residual stresses in fatigue processes as well as aspects and examples of ultrasonic stress-relieving are also considered in this chapter. The presented data on residual stresses are complimentary to the detailed review of various methods of residual stress analysis considered in two handbooks on residual stresses published by the Society of Experimental Mechanics (SEM) in 1996 and 2005.
