Abstract The article deals with the state-of-the-art in the field of Longitudinal critically refracted (LCR) ultrasonic wave, for non-destructive material evaluation. It checks its capability for residual stress identification, and reviews positives and negatives related to its use. Obtained information within the article, are used for the understanding of essence of method and for the evaluation of its use in the engineering practice. The article can be the source of information about the LCR wave measurement technology, which is the part of the complex ultrasonic testing method. For the frequency of using this technology for surface residual stress measurement, it is appropriate to have this information in one whole, which are gathered of the outputs of researches by various authors. The paper is divided in few sections and sub-sections. In the first section, information about LCR wave technique and factors correlated with this method, are provided. The next section writes about residual stresses and the importance of their identification. Next, the principal of residual stresses measurement and basic structure of measurement device, is described. A significant part of study, describes the state so far of theoretical and practical researches within the use of this method, in the technological practice of residual stress identification in surface layers of engineering components. In the conclusion, obtained knowledges are summarised and evaluated. Related positive and negative aspects are included, with a verifying the need of future researches.

This paper presents experimental measurements of the through-thickness distribution of residual stress in a ceramic-metallic functionally graded material (FGM). It further presents an error analysis and optimization of the residual stress measurement technique. Measurements are made in a seven-layered plate with a base of commercially pure titanium and successive layers containing an increasing proportion of titanium-boride, reaching 85% titanium-boride in the final layer. The compliance method is employed to determine residual stress, where a slot is introduced using wire electric-discharge machining and strain release is measured as a function of increasing slot depth. Strain release measurements are used with a back-calculation scheme, based on finite element simulation, to provide residual stresses in the FGM. The analysis is complicated by the variation of material properties in the FGM, but tractable due to the flexibility of the finite element method. The Monte Carlo approach is used for error analysis and a method is described for optimization of the functional form assumed for the residual stresses. The magnitude and variation of the resulting residual stress distributions and several aspects of the error analyses are discussed.

The mission of the NeT European collaborative network is to develop experimental and numerical techniques and standards for the reliable characterisation of residual stresses in structural welds. NeT achieves this by conducting parallel measurement and prediction round robins on closely controlled and well characterised benchmark weldments. NeT TG6 follows on from the successful TG1 and TG4 benchmarks, which both examined welds in AISI 316L material. NeT TG6 examines an Alloy 600 plate containing a three pass “slot” weld made with Alloy 82 consumables. This paper describes the NeT TG6 project as a whole, and presents preliminary materials characterisation, residual stress measurement, and residual stress modelling results.

In connection with the 100th anniversary of Stoney’s equations, some historical remarks are made with respect to the development of these equations. As an example of the extension of Stoney’s equations, a unique algorithm of the layer growing/removing methods is presented for de­termination of residual stresses in isotropic inhomogeneous coated plates. Using a computer pro­gram based on this algorithm, residual stresses are computed in the galvanic steel coating on the copper plate substrate.

In previous work it has been shown that near surface residual stresses may be deduced from surface strains produced by making a cut of progressively increasing depth. The process of electric discharge wire machining (EDWM), by providing very narrow cuts, greatly improves the ability of the method to resolve a stress gradient near the surface. However, the EDWM process may also introduce residual stresses. In the present work a model for estimating the influence of EDWM is presented, and a procedure for eliminating its effect on residual stress measurement is developed. Experimental results validate the theoretical approach.

Residual stress (RS) can significantly affect engineering properties of materials and structural components, notably fatigue life, distortion, dimensional stability, corrosion resistance etc. Residual stresses play an exceptionally significant role in fatigue of welded elements. The influence of residual stresses on the multi-cycle fatigue life of butt and fillet welds can be compared with the effects of stress concentration. Even more significant are the effects of residual stresses on the fatigue life of welded elements in the case of relieving harmful tensile residual stresses and introducing beneficial compressive residual stresses in the weld toe zones. Residual stress management is a concept that addresses major aspects of residual stresses in welds and welded structures. According to the concept three major stages, i.e. RS determination, RS analysis and RS redistribution are considered and evaluated, either experimentally or theoretically to achieve the optimum performance of welded structures. All three stages as well as a number of new engineering tools such as ultrasonic computerized complex for residual stress measurement, UltraMARS, software for analysis of the effect of residual stresses on the fatigue life of welded elements and new technology and, based on it, compact system for beneficial redistribution of residual stresses by ultrasonic peening, UltraPeen will be discussed. Examples of industrial applications of the developed engineering tools for residual stress analysis and fatigue life improvement of welded elements and structures will be given.

In this study, the residual stresses in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were measured using an x-ray stress measurement technique. There have been few reports published of residual stress investigations in polymeric materials by x-ray stress measurements based on conventional x-ray reflection methods. There are two problems associated with this measurement. Firstly, the diffraction peaks of the polymer in the low 2q angle region and therefore the measurement accuracy for strains reduces. Secondly, the low 2q angle region makes it extremely difficult to use the sin2ψmethod. In the present study we tried to use a transmission method for measuring the residual stress in HDPE sample to resolve these problems. The HDPE sample is shaped into thin sheets which have the three kinds of crystallinity degrees. The measured data is fitted with a good linear regression line in a d-sin2ψdiagram and gradient of the regression line corresponded to the applied stress. On the other hand, the results of the residual stress measurement are deeply associated with degrees of the crystallinity in the HDPE material. The quantitative estimation of crystallinity degrees in the HDPE material was accomplished by a sink-float method. The residual stress distributions were discussed between micro-residual stresses in the crystal phase of HDPE with the amorphous phase of it. Finally, x-ray elastic constant (XEC) of HDPE was estimated and the Initial residual stresses were also measured by use of this XEC parameter.
