Abstract

In conjunction with the incremental hole-drilling method, a new evaluation procedure is presented for determining the residual stress state in components. In contrast to the classical method, the whole displacement field around the drilled hole is measured using the electronic speckle pattern interferometry technique. The displacement patterns, measured without contact to the surface, are then correlated with those obtained by finite-element simulations using statistical methods. The simulated displacement patterns, used for calibration purposes, result from the application of properly defined basic loads. In this way, the values and the orientation of the residual stresses can be determined by superposition of these properly scaled and shifted basic loads. Even complex states of stress can be evaluated. The theoretical background and experimental results are presented.
