The accurate determination of residual stresses has a crucial role in understanding the
complex interactions between microstructure, mechanical state, mode (s) of failure, and …

The contour method determines residual stress by cutting a specimen into two pieces and
measuring surface height maps, or contours, on the free surfaces created by the cut. The …

Accurate measurement of residual stress in metallic components using the contour method
relies on the achievement of a good quality cut, on the appropriate measurement of the …

Determining residual stresses in thin-walled pipes is challenging. They are potentially
difficult targets for simulation, because they may not behave as simple axisymmetric …

This paper describes a methodology for the estimation of measurement uncertainty for the
contour method, where the contour method is an experimental technique for measuring a …

This study compares the residual stress profiles generated by two different welding
techniques (multi-pass and single pass welding) in 80 mm thick ferritic steel welds. As …

Reliable assessment of the fatigue life of offshore wind monopiles operating in harsh
offshore environments relies on quantifying the level of residual stresses locked-in at …

To investigate the residual stress distribution in the zirconium/titanium/steel tri-metal
explosively welded composite plates after welding a cover plate and cutting with various …

In this research, the effect of stress relief annealing heat treatment on mechanical properties,
microstructure, and residual stresses of a severe plastic deformation technique, known as …

Welding residual stresses usually have some negative effects on mechanical properties of
the welded structure. A multi electron beam heating method was proposed to modify the …
