Measurement of residual stresses in CFRP laminates by X-ray diffraction method

Measurement of Residual Stresses in Fiber Reinforced Composites Based on X-Ray Diffraction

1. ABSTRACT X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements have been made to determine residual stresses in embedded Al particles placed between the first and second ply of both unidirectional and fabric graphite/PMR-15 composite specimens. In order to further verify the results obtained, the effect of externally applied four-point bending on the measured strains and stresses in the Al inclusions was inv...

Residual Stresses Measurement in Hollow Samples Using Contour Method

Residual stresses are created usually undesirably during manufacturing processes, including casting, welding, metal forming, etc. Residual stresses alone or in combination with other factors can cause the destruction and fracture of components or significant decline in their service life. Therefore, it is crucial to measure the residual stresses. Contour method is a destructive testing method c...

Residual Stresses Measurement of a Quenched Cylinder using Slitting Method

Residual Stress measurement has gained interests among researchers for many years due to its great influence on the structural integrity. Slitting method is one of the destructive techniques that relies on the introduction of an increasing cut to a part containing residual stresses. Similar to all other mechanical strain relief techniques, slitting also suffers from its shortcomings during the ...

Plasticity Effect on Residual Stresses Measurement Using Contour Method

Residual stresses have become an important player in the field of the structural integrity for many years. Having an exact knowledge of residual stress distributions can be essential in designing the engineering components as unexpected failures are inevitable where such stresses are ignored.  There are many residual stresses measurement techniques including destructive and non-destructive ones...
