The incremental hole-drilling method is a widely used technique to determine residual stress depth profiles in technical components. Its application is limited in respect to the components geometry, for instance the components thickness. In this paper, a direct correction of the measured strain relaxations is proposed to consider the impact of deviant geometries, here the component thickness, on the residual stress evaluation that moreover, allows the application of commercially available evaluation software. The herein proposed approach is based on finite element simulation of the incremental hole drilling. The simulated strain relaxations for thin metal sheets are evaluated with an algorithm as used in commercially available evaluation software (i) for uncorrected data as well as (ii) for strain data corrected by the proposed correction procedure. It is shown that the correction approach leads to a significant improvement of the measurement accuracy. Further, by means of the approach residual stress depth profiles in thin metal sheets can be as usual determined using commercial evaluation software for the incremental hole-drilling method regardless of the algorithm used, i.e. differential or integral.

Hole drilling is one of the most widely used techniques for measuring residual stress, but the conventional approach is limited in the near surface detail that can be resolved. Because of concerns about the levels of induced residual stress that might develop during machining and surface treatment processes, there is significant interest in developing a technique that can obtain near-surface residual stress information by the application of fine-increment hole drilling. Critical information can be lost if conventional, large depth increments are used and the fine incremental hole drilling approach, using depth increments as small as 20µm, offers a cost effective and rapid solution, with the possibility of measuring near surface stresses. Results focus on three different machining studies and a shot peened specimen, all cases where the stress field changes rapidly through the depth, particularly close to the surface. A systematic assessment of machining parameters is not within the scope of this paper and is not presented, but work has focused on highlighting the application and potential of the fine increment hole drilling approach.

The measurement of residual stress using the incremental hole drilling is well established, but the main limitations with the conventional strain gauge approach are the requirements for surface preparation, the need for accurate alignment and drilling, the restricted range of hole geometries commensurate with the specific gauge designs, and the limited range of strain data averaged over the footprint of the strain gauge grid. Recent attempts to extend the method have seen the application of full field optical techniques such as electronic speckle pattern interferometry and holographic interferometry for measuring the strain fields around the hole, but these methods are sensitive to vibration and this limits their practical use to controlled laboratory environments. There are significant potential benefits therefore of using a more robust technique based on Digital Image Correlation (DIC), and work is presented in this study on the development of the method for measuring surface displacements and strain fields generated during incremental hole drilling. Some of the practical issues associated with the technique development, including the optimization of applied patterns, the development of the optical system and integration with current hole drilling equipment are discussed, and although measurements are only presented for a single load case - the equi-biaxial stress state introduced during shot peening - the novel aspect of this work is the integration of DIC measurements with incremental drilling and an application of the Integral Method analysis to measure the variation of residual stress with depth. Validation data comparing results from conventional strain gauge data and FE models is also presented.

The good control of residual stress level in mechanical components is an important factor, particularly for a good fatigue strength of these components. This paper presents advances obtained at the technical center for mechanical engineering industries (CETIM) in the field of development of an ultrasonic method for stress measurements. This method is potentially advantageous because it is nondestructive, has good portability, and is easy to use. In the paper are discussed the results obtained with ultrasonics on steel welded plate, and a comparison is made with stress measurement obtained by incremental hole-drilling method, and X-ray diffraction. These results are also validated by thermal relaxation of the plates. The paper discusses also the microstructure influence on ultrasonic measurements and methods for adjusting the ultrasonic measurements to improve the agreement with results obtained from other techniques. In conclusion is emphasized the interest for studying the ability of the ultrasonic residual stress measurement method in different industrial cases.
