Effects of plastic pre-strain on residual stress in welded steam tubing
Power generation plant heat exchangers contain many banks of thin section, small diameter boiler tubes that are usually cold bent to shape (introducing high levels of plastic... -
Residual stresses in ultrasonically-peened welded joints
Ultrasonic peening (UP) can improve the fatigue resistance of welded joints by introducing compressive residual stresses at the toe of the welds, and offers significant... -
Residual stresses in laser welded benchmark specimens to validate a new plast...
A novel analytical approach has been developed to assess the plasticity induced error in residual stress (RS) distributions measured by the contour method (CM) for which...
