The contour method of residual stress measurement has recently been adapted to measure fractured, rather than cut specimens. The fracture contour method was capable of determining normal residual stresses acting prior to the planestrain failure of a large aluminium alloy forging, but shear residual stresses could not be measured (Prime et al., 2014, Eng. Fract. Mech., 116, 158-171). We demonstr...

Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (TSA) is a full-field technique for experimental stress analysis that is based on infra-red thermography. The technique has proved to be extremely effective for studying elastic stress fields and is now well established. It is based on the measurement of the temperature change that occurs as a result of a stress change. As residual stress is essentially a mean stre...

Most trans-tibial amputation (TTA) patients use a prosthesis to retain upright mobility capabilities. Unfortunately, interaction between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket causes elevated internal strains and stresses in the muscle and fat tissues in the residual limb, which may lead to deep tissue injury (DTI) and other complications. Presently, there is paucity of information on the ...

The present study aims to investigate the residual stresses and surface hardening in ground components caused by the coupled effect of thermo-plasticity and phase transformation. A feasible numerical method was developed to accommodate appropriately the phase transformation in a workpiece experiencing critical temperature variation during grinding. The change of material properties was modelled...

By partitioning the total stresses in a damaged composite into either mechanical and residual stresses or into initial and perturbation stresses, it was possible to derive several exact results for the energy release rate due to crack growth. These general results automatically include the effects of residual stresses, traction-loaded cracks, and imperfect interfaces. The exact energy release r...

Vascular growth and remodeling during embryonic development are associated with blood flow and pressure induced stress distribution, in which residual strains and stresses play a central role. Residual strains are typically measured by performing in vitro tests on the excised vascular tissue. In this paper, we investigated the possibility of estimating residual strains and stresses using physio...

In the paper there will be introduced method for relative determination of induced kinetic energy of hardened balls on treated surface, which was invented by J. Alemen. In our experimental work we were focused on measuring Barkhausen noise signals and comparison with microstructure, microhardness, and residual stress analysis of surface roughness. In process of shot peening there is occurrence ...
