This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book appeals to an audience in the engineering field specifically Mechanical Engineering. Professional design engineers will find this work useful in the estimation of the magnitudes of residual stresses in components and correctly account for them when determining factors of safety. Destructive and non-destructive technicians will find it helpful in the condition monitoring of plant and equipment while a basis for researchers is laid to pursue further work.The book focuses on the measurements of displacements, time of flight/ultrasonic velocity and strains in steel specimens which subsequently prompts the calculation of stresses. The following methods are covered; Hole Drilling, Ultrasonic (Debro-30) System and Digital Shearography. Emphasis is laid on the experimental procedures and the analysis of the results thereof. A novel technique of quantifying residual stresses using shearograms obtained from Digital Shearography experimental data is proposed. This however warrants further investigations that require independent verification stress measurement methods.

Book Residual Stresses in Composite Materials

Download or read book Residual Stresses in Composite Materials written by Mahmood M. Shokrieh and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-14 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residual stresses are a common phenomenon in composite materials. They can either add to or significantly reduce material strength. Because of the increasing demand for high-strength, light-weight materials such as composites and their wide range of applications in the aerospace and automotive industries, in civil infrastructure and in sporting applications, it is critical that the residual stresses of composite materials are understood and measured correctly.The first part of this important book reviews destructive and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques for measuring residual stresses. Various mathematical (analytical and numerical) methods for calculation of residual stresses in composite materials are also presented. Chapters in the first section of the book discuss the simulated hole drilling method, the slitting/crack compliance method, measuring residual stresses in homogeneous and composite glass materials using photoelastic techniques, and modeling residual stresses in composite materials. The second part of the book discusses residual stresses in polymer matrix, metal-matrix and a range of other types of composites. Moreover, the addition of nanoparticles to the matrix of polymeric composites as a new technique for reduction of residual stresses is discussed.Residual stresses in composite materials provides a comprehensive overview of this important topic, and is an invaluable reference text for both academics and professionals working in the mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aerospace, automotive, marine and sporting industries. - Reviews destructive and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques for measuring residual stresses - Discusses residual stresses in polymer matrix, metal-matrix and other types of composite - Considers the addition of nanoparticles to the matrix of polymeric composites as a new technique for reduction of residual stresses

Book Methods of Residual Stress Measurement

Download or read book Methods of Residual Stress Measurement written by and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual has been assembled as a ready reference source for the engineer who must measure residual stresses. Although the literature has abundant information on the individual methods of residual stress measurement, this manual is unique in that most of the useful methods have been selected, described, classified, and compared.Methods of measuring residual stress may be classified as mechanical, physical, or chemical. Mechanical methods that are most widely used involve the machining of the part to release the residual stresses. These methods are considered in detail and occupy the bulk of this manual.Of the physical methods, x-ray diffraction has many advantages in solving some residual stress problems. One of the major advantages is that it is completely nondestructive if only surface residual stresses are desired. This method is briefly described and its limitations discussed so that the investigator may choose this method if it fulfills his needs. The method and the necessary techniques have been covered in detail in Ref. 1.Of the chemical methods, the stress corrosion cracking technique seems to be the most useful. This cracking is known to be dependent upon the surface tensile stress level. At present it is only a qualitative measure of the stress, but perhaps at some future date, quantitative chemical methods may be developed.To make residual stress measurements, the engineer must: 1Select the most appropriate method. 2Completely familiarize himself with the theory behind the method chosen. 3Learn the techniques of measurement used by previous investigators.Note that the word "method" is reserved to mean the individual category of stress analysis, and that "technique" applies to the experimental procedure.The choice of the method depends to a large extent upon the geometry of the specimen, the precision desired, the type and location of the stress it is desired to measure, and the equipment available. The numerous mechanical methods available are classified into four groups. These are: the parting-out method, the layer removal method, the boring and turning method, and the hole drilling method. The nonmechanical x-ray method is briefly discussed here for comparison.Once the method has been selected, measurements should not be taken and their values blindly substituted into equations. Each term in the expressions relating the deformation to the residual stress should be completely understood and the sign convention used for these terms should be well known. For this reason, a derivation for each method has been included with the necessary assumptions and limitations. Following a study of these equations, it may be decided whether some automatic or computer technique should be used. In some instances in which a large number of specimens are to be analyzed, the computer technique offers obvious advantages. At this point, it is also necessary to determine the precision with which the stresses are to be determined. This, of course, can be related directly to the precision used in the measurement of the deformation changes and the original dimensions of the specimen itself.The correct choice of the many and varied techniques for measuring dimensional changes used in the determination of residual stress is extremely important if accurate and reproducible data are to be obtained. Machining stress introduced in dissecting must not be larger or more significant than the stress that is to be measured. The techniques used to remove material are numerous, and some of the better currently used techniques are considered. The specific techniques associated with any particular method are included and special fixtures and procedures are described and sample calculations are given.

Book Hole Drilling Method for Measuring Residual Stresses

Download or read book Hole Drilling Method for Measuring Residual Stresses written by Gary S. and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the theory and practice of the Hole-Drilling Method for measuring residual stresses in engineering components. Such measurements are important because residual stresses have a "hidden" character because they exist locked-in within a material, independent of any external load. These stresses are typically created during component manufacture, for example, during welding, casting, or forming. Because of their hidden nature, residual stresses are difficult to measure and consequently are often ignored. However, they directly add to loading stresses and can cause catastrophic failure if not properly included during engineering design. Thus, there is an urgent need to be able to identify and measure residual stresses conveniently and reliably. The Hole-Drilling Method provides an adaptable and well-proven method for measuring residual stresses in a wide range of materials and component types. It is convenient to use and gives reliable results. Because of the hidden nature of residual stresses, the measurement method must necessarily be indirect, thus, additional care and conceptual understanding are necessary to achieve successful results. This book provides a practical introduction to the Hole-Drilling Method, starting from its historical roots and going on to focus on its modern practice. The various chapters describe the nature of residual stresses, the principle of hole-drilling measurements, procedures and guidance on how to make successful measurements, and effective mathematical procedures for stress computation and analysis. The book is intended for practitioners who need to make residual stress measurements either occasionally or routinely, for practicing engineers, for researchers, and for graduate engineering and science students.

Book International Conference on Residual Stresses

Download or read book International Conference on Residual Stresses written by G. Beck and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1043 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residual stresses are always introduced in materials when they are produced, or when they undergo non-uniform plastic deformation during use. The circumstances that can cause residual stresses are therefore numerous. Residual stresses exist in all materials and, depending on their distribution, can playa beneficial role (for example, compressive surface stress) or have a catastrophic effect, especially on fatigue behaviour and corrosion properties. The subject of residual stresses took form around 1970 with the development of methods to measure macroscopic deformations during the machining of materials or on an atomic scale by X-ray diffraction. These techniques have made considerable progress in the last 20 years. The meetings organized in several countries (Germany, France, Japan, etc. ) have largely contributed to this progress, aided by the numerous exchanges of information and knowledge to which they have given rise. Studies of the formation of residual stresses began more slowly, but have progressed with the emergence of increasingly realistic models of materials behaviour and with access to ever more powerful codes for numerical calculations. Two successive meetings for discussing this topic have been held in Europe. The first, held in 1982 in Nancy (France), consisted of 30 participants from 5 countries. The second was held in Linkoping (Sweden) in 1984, with 80 participants of 16 nationalities. It was decided to hold a first International Conference, ICRS, to address all aspects of the problem. Held in 1986 in Garmisch-Partenkirschen (FRG), it was an assembly of neady 300 participants from 21 countries.
