    Neutronographic Residual Stress Analysis for Materials With Depth Gradients of the Strain Free Lattice Parameter \({{\varvec{d}}}_{0}\) for the Example of a Case-Hardened Steel 20MnCr5

    In the present work, ring-shaped samples made from steel 20MnCr5 were low-pressure carburized (LPC) and subsequently hardened by gas quenching (case-hardened). This results in a near-surface gradient in chemic...

    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...
