Residual stress and strain in living tissues have been investigated from the viewpoint of mechanical optimality maintained by adaptive remodeling. In this study, the residual stresses in the cortical-cancellous bone complex of bovine coccygeal vertebrae were examined. Biaxial strain gages were bonded onto the cortical surface, so that the gage axes were aligned in the cephalocaudal and circumferential directions. Strains induced by removal of the end-plate and the cancellous bone were recorded sequentially. The results revealed the existence of compressive residual stress in the cortical bone and tensile residual stress in the cancellous bone in both the cephalocaudal and the circumferential direction. The observed strains were examined on the basis of the uniform stress hypothesis using a three-bar model for the cephalocaudal direction and a three-layered cylinder model for the circumferential direction. In this model study, the magnitude of effective stresses, which is defined as the macroscopic stress divided by the area fraction of bone material, was found not to differ significantly between cephalocaudal and circumferential directions, although they were evaluated using independent models. These results demonstrate that the uniform stress state of the cortical-cancellous bone structure is consistent with results obtained in the cutting experiment when the existence of residual stress is taken into account.

All the studies on the thermoelastic behaviour of materials, including the revised higher order theory on the thermoelastic effect, are based on several assumptions that limit the application of such theory to the cases of isotropic materials in the presence of uniaxial residual stresses and undergoing uniaxial applied loads. These assumptions lead to some discrepancies in the description of the real thermoelastic behaviour of materials in the presence of residual stresses. In this work, by rewriting the thermoelastic equation in a different way, it was possible to study the behaviour of homogeneous and non-isotropic materials undergoing any loading conditions and residual stresses. Firstly, the error made by the calibration procedures of thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) data in the presence of residual stresses has been investigated. Then, a statistical analysis was carried out to determine the minimum value of residual stress which would lead to significant and measurable variations in the thermoelastic signal. The simulations involved two non-ferrous metals: AA6082 and Ti6Al4V, which exhibit a specific thermoelastic behaviour.

It was Niihara et al. who first discovered that the fracture strength of Al2O3 can be increased by incorporating as little as 5 vol.% of nano-size SiC particles (>1000 MPa), and that the strength would be improved further by a simple annealing procedure (>1500 MPa). This discovery has stimulated intense interest on Al2O3/SiC nanocomposites. Recent indentation studies by Fang et al. have shown that residual stress relief was more difficult in the nanocomposite than in pure Al2O3. In the present work, TEM was employed to investigate the microscopic mechanism(s) for the difference in the residual stress recovery in these two materials.Bulk samples of hot-pressed single phase Al2O3, and Al2O3 containing 5 vol.% 0.15 μm SiC particles were simultaneously polished with 15 μm diamond compound. Each sample was cut into two pieces, one of which was subsequently annealed at 1300° for 2 hours in flowing argon. Disks of 3 mm in diameter were cut from bulk samples.
