Cold working a hole decreases tendency of fatigue crack near the hole to initiate or growth. It is due to creation some compression tangential residual stresses around the hole. But there are many uncertainties which affect on residual strain and so...

One of the most conventional approaches of quality control in metal weldments is the evaluation of

residual stresses and distortion. Constraining the structure during welding, is the significant key parameter for...

The presence of tensile residual stress in cracked structures combined with external loading can lead to circumstances where a structure may fail at a lower applied load than when residual stresses are not present. This is taken into consideration...

This paper compares different methods for predicting the

influence of residual stresses on brittle fracture. Comparison is

made between fracture predictions of a local statistical

approach based on the Beremin type model...

Influence of residual stresses on fracture response of an Aluminum alloy is investigated. Cylindrical flat ended

punching tools are employed to introduce residual stresses on 15mm thick C(T) specimens. The residual stress...

The influence of residual stresses on the fracture behaviour of materials is of fundamental importance for accurate and reliable structural integrity assessments of components and structures In this paper residual stress fields are introduced...

In order to assess the effect of a residual stress field on the fracture behaviour of materials, a well-defined residual stress field, with known characteristics, such as triaxiality, must be generated in a controllable and reproducible manner...

The aim of this paper is to examine the influence of residual stress (RS) and loading history on the subsequent

low-temperature cleavage fracture resistance of ferritic steel structures such as pressure vessels. Three...
