    Error and Uncertainty Analysis of Non-Uniform Residual Stress Evaluation by Using the Ring-Core Method

    Like other mechanical methods used for the residual stress evaluation on a generic structural component, the Ring-Core Method (RCM) is potentially subjected to various error sources that in some particular exp...

    Numerical-experimental Method for the Analysis of Residual Stresses in Cold-expanded Holes

    Hole cold expansion is a technique widely used to improve the fatigue life of components with holes, e.g. bolted or riveted joints. As it has been demonstrated in literature by analytical, numerical and experi...

    Measuring Inaccessible Residual Stresses Using Multiple Methods and Superposition

    The traditional contour method maps a single component of residual stress by cutting a body carefully in two and measuring the contour of the cut surface. The cut also exposes previously inaccessible regions o...

    Measuring Multiple Residual-Stress Components using the Contour Method and Multiple Cuts

    The conventional contour method determines one component of residual stress over the cross section of a part. The part is cut into two, the contour (topographic shape) of the exposed surface is measured, and B...
