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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...
