The evaluation of residual stresses using Ring-Core method requires complex analysis of the acquired strain values. The development is based on ASTM Standard E837-08 for hole-drilling method, but the specific approach for Ring-Core is needed. The input data sets obtained from strain gage rosette are categorized by proposed uniformity test. The influence of geometric parameters of the specimen on this test and subsequently on the both uniform and nonuniform calculations is considered.

There is a strong need for reliable residual stress measurements. On the one hand, residual stresses can be beneficial, when they are adapted to external loads. On the other hand, they can be detrimental, when they are unknown. Thus, their occurrence can lead to an uneconomical oversizing of components or in their failure, as well. Apart from diffraction methods, mechanical methods are well recognized in order to determine unknown residual stress states. Depending on the applied method, specific boundary conditions have to be taken into account. In the case of mechanical methods like the hole-drilling and the ring-core method, the characteristics of the geometry of the component should be in accordance with an ideal and thick plate. The reason behind is the need for a calibration data set to transform strains into stresses. The calibration is usually carried out numerically. For the sake of simplicity, the geometry of the component is an ideal thick plate and the hole is introduced in its center. However, in most cases, this is not identical with the geometry of the component under investigation. Hence, an application tool was designed that enables the parametric design of a Finite Element Model, the determination of calibration coefficients, the evaluation of the experiment and the visualization of the results for geometries of practical importance. So far, the application tool can represent plates variable in their geometries and in positioning of the point of measurement. The option for other geometries are also possible e.g. a turbine blade.

Two commonly used mechanical methods for the determination of residual stresses are the hole-drilling method and the ring-core method, which can be regarded as semi-destructive. The most restricting limitation for the general applicability of both methods, according to the current state of science and technology, is the fact that the scope for relatively low residual stress under 60% of the yield stress is limited.This is a result of the notch effect of the hole or ring core, which leads to a plastification around and on the bottom of the hole and ring shaped groove already at stresses well below the yield stress of the material. The elastic evaluation of the resulting plastic strains leads consequently to an overestimation of the delineated residual stresses. In this paper the influence of elastic-plastic material properties no the specific calibration function for the hole-drilling method using the differential method is studied, and the method of adaptive calibration functions is presented.

There are several measuring techniques for determining residual stress which can be divided according to the created damage in to the construction in non-destructive, semi-destructive and destructive ones. One of the most common is semi-destructive hole-drilling method. This paper deals about Ring-Core method which is based on the similar principles. Today, there is no standard for the Ring-Core method, thus it is important to consider various influential factors. One of them are the dimensions of specimen. Calibration coefficients are determined by finite element (FE) analysis using the commercial software Solidworks. These coefficients are used for residual stress evaluation by incremental method used in Ring-Core method. The influence of different specimen dimensions on the accuracy of the evaluated residual stresses is considered.

The hole-drilling method (HDM) and ring core method (RCM) are limited to low residual stresses under 60% of the yield stress. This issue will experimentally analyze the method of adaptive calculation function, presented by the author on the ICRS9. With a four-point-bending test machine, a defined stress can be triggered between the middle bending. In this defined loading area, the strains in two load cases with the HDM and the RCM configuration were measured. With these measured strains the residual stress calculation will be analysed.

The ring-core method allows the determination of residual stresses at high depth from the surface. The numerical calculation integral method, commonly used for the hole-drilling, can also be applied to the ring-core. The integral method coefficients were obtained for several depth steps after axial-symmetric FE simulations with harmonic load. These coefficients were then validated with a 3D finite element model. Finally, an application was reported, showing the performance of the Tikhonov regularization on experimental data.

SLM Additive Manufacturing has demonstrated great potential for aerospace applications when structural elements of individual design and/or complex shape need to be promptly supplied. 3D-printable AlSi10Mg (RS-300) alloy is widely used for the fabrication of different structures in aerospace industry. The importance of the evaluation of residual stresses that arise as a result of complex 3D-printing process thermal history is widely discussed in literature, but systematic assessment remains lacking for their magnitude, spatial distribution, and comparative analysis of different evaluation techniques. In this study we report the results of a systematic study of residual stresses in a 3D-printed double tower shaped samples using several approaches: the contour method, blind hole drilling laser speckle interferometry, X-ray diffraction, and Xe pFIB-DIC micro-ring-core milling analysis. We show that a high level of tensile and compressive residual stresses is inherited from SLM 3D-printing and retained for longer than 6 months. The stresses vary over a significant proportion of the material yield stress. All residual stress evaluation techniques considered returned comparable values of residual stresses even regardless of dramatically different dimensional scales from millimeters for the Contour Method down, laser speckle interferometry and XRD and down to small fractions of a mm (70 μm) for Xe pFIB-DIC ring-core drilling. The use of residual stress evaluation is discussed in the context of optimizing the printing strategy to enhance the mechanical performance and long-term durability.
