    A Combined Experimental and Modelling Approach to Elastic–Plastic Crack Driving Force Calculation in the Presence of Residual Stresses

    Since all residual stress measurement methods have inherent limitations, it is normally impractical to completely characterise a three-dimensional residual stress field by experimental means. This lack of comp...

    Neutron Diffraction Analysis of Complete Residual Stress Tensors in Conventional and Rolled Gas Metal Arc Welds

    Mitigation of residual stress in an arc weld by high-pressure rolling of the weld seam has been investigated using neutron diffraction. Rolling was found to greatly improve the residual stress distribution, ca...
