Residual stress in purely elastic solids has been extensively studied in the literature. However, to the best of the author’s knowledge, the influence of residual stresses on anisotropic Mullins materials has not been studied. Hence, the aim of this paper is to propose an anisotropic phenomenological model to describe the Mullins phenomena for residually stressed elastomers; taking note that most materials are not purely elastic and some of them exhibit an anisotropic stress-softening phenomenon widely known as the Mullins effect. The anisotropic model is based on the use of direction-dependent damage parameters and a set of anisotropic spectral invariants presented recently in the literature by the author. The spectral invariants have a clear physical meaning that is useful in aiding the design of a rigorous experiment to construct a specific form of constitutive equation. Since boundary value results for residually stressed Mullins material are not found in the literature, the effect of residual stresses on the Mullins phenomena in simple tension, torsion and equibiaxial deformations is discussed in this paper.

Abstract In the present article, a spectral model is developed for residually stressed electro-elastic bodies. The model uses a total energy function that depends on the right stretch tensor, residual stress tensor and one of the electric variables. Some boundary value results with cylindrical symmetry are given. Results for the inflation of a hollow sphere, where the residual stress is assumed to depend only on the radial position, are also given. The constitutive formulation contains spectral invariants that have an immediate physical interpretation which is useful in a rigorous construction of a specific form of the total energy function via an appropriate experiment

Abstract We subjected rubber coupons to cyclical uniaxial tension to investigate the softening effect, where the primary loading at its initial position was followed by additional unloading and reloading. Less stress was required upon reloading than that required in the previous loading for the same degree of stretch, reached on the first loading. This stress softening is significant when reloading follows virgin loading. The magnitude of stress softening is related to the maximum stretch elastomers can achieve in each cycle. To investigate this phenomenon, rubber coupons were subjected to four cycles of simple tension until the desired stretch was reached. We expected that several tests under the same conditions would provide almost identical results. However, we observed different stress requirements for different degrees of stretch when multiple cycles of the same stretch were performed. For three different experimental tests of the same amount of stretch, we saw huge differences in each cycle of loading-relaxation-reloading, a phenomenon that was more obvious during stress relaxation.

Stainless steel 304 L tubes are commonly used in the fabrication of heat exchangers for nuclear power stations. The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of 304 L tubes in hydraulically expanded tube-to-tubesheet joints is the main reason for the failure of heat exchangers. In this study, 304 L hydraulically expanded joint specimens were prepared and the residual stresses of a tube were evaluated with both an experimental method and the finite element method (FEM). The residual stresses in the outer and inner surfaces of the tube were measured by strain gauges. The expanding and unloading processes of the tube-to-tubesheet joints were simulated by the FEM. Furthermore, an SCC test was carried out to verify the results of the experimental measurement and the FEM. There was good agreement between the FEM and the experimental results. The distribution of the residual stress of the tube in the expanded joint was revealed by the FEM. The effects of the expansion pressure, initial tube-to-hole clearance, and yield strength of the tube on the residual stress in the transition zone that lay between the expanded and unexpanded region of the tube were investigated. The results showed that the residual stress of the expanded joint reached the maximum value when the initial clearance was eliminated. The residual stress level decreased with the decrease of the initial tube-to-hole clearance and yield strength. Finally, an effective method that would reduce the residual stress without losing tightness was proposed.

Roughness Effect

The effects of surface roughness on the stresses in an alumina scale formed on a Fecralloy substrate are investigated. Spherical indenters were used to create indents with different radii and depths to represent surface roughness and then the roughness effect was studied comprehensively. It was found that the residual stresses in the alumina scale formed around the rough surface are almost constant and they are dominated by the curvature rather than the depth of the roughness. Oxidation changes the surface roughness. The edge of the indent was sharpened after oxidation and the residual stress there was released presumably due to cracking. The residual stresses in the alumina scale decrease with increase in oxidation time, while the substrate thickness has little effect, given that the substrate is thicker than the alumina scale. Furthermore, the effect of roughness on the oxide growth stress is analysed. This work indicates that the surface roughness should be considered for evaluation of stresses in coatings.

Compressive Residual Stresses

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a relatively new manufacturing method that can produce complex geometries and optimized shapes with less process steps. In addition to distinct microstructural features, residual stresses and their formation are also inherent to AM components. AM components require several post-processing steps before they are ready for use. To change the traditional manufacturing method to AM, comprehensive characterization is needed to verify the suitability of AM components. On very demanding corrosion atmospheres, the question is does AM lower or eliminate the risk of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) compared to welded 316L components? This work concentrates on post-processing and its influence on the microstructure and surface and subsurface residual stresses. The shot peening (SP) post-processing levelled out the residual stress differences, producing compressive residual stresses of more than −400 MPa in the AM samples and the effect exceeded an over 100 µm layer below the surface. Post-processing caused grain refinement and low-angle boundary formation on the sample surface layer and silicon carbide (SiC) residue adhesion, which should be taken into account when using the components. Immersion tests with four-point-bending in the heated 80 °C magnesium chloride solution for SCC showed no difference between AM and reference samples even after a 674 h immersion.

Residual Strains

Measurement of residual strains by neutron diffraction of linear friction welded Inconel® 718 (IN 718) superalloy acquired from a mid-service aero-engine disk was undertaken in this study. Residual strain and stress throughout the various weld regions including the heat affected zone (HAZ), thermomechanical affected zone (TMAZ) and dynamically recrystallized zone (DRX) were characterized. The residual stresses were observed to increase from the base material to the weld interface, with a peak stress at the weld interface in all orthogonal directions. The trends for residual stress across the weld are in agreement with other work published in literature for solid state welding of aerospace alloys, where high residual stresses were commonly reported at the weld interface.

Abstract The aluminothermic welding (ATW) process is the most commonly used welding process for welding rails (track) in the field. The large amount of weld metal added in the ATW process may result in a wide uneven surface zone on the rail head, which may, in rare cases, lead to irregularities in wear and plastic deformation due to high dynamic wheel-rail forces as wheels pass. The present paper studies the introduction of additional forging to the ATW process, intended to reduce the width of the zone affected by the heat input, while not creating a more detrimental residual stress field. Simulations using a novel thermo-mechanical FE model of the ATW process show that addition of a forging pressure leads to a somewhat smaller width of the zone affected by heat. This is also found in a metallurgical examination, showing that this zone (weld metal and heat-affected zone) is fully pearlitic. Only marginal differences are found in the residual stress field when additional forging is applied. In both cases, large tensile residual stresses are found in the rail web at the weld. Additional forging may increase the risk of hot cracking due to an increase in plastic strains within the welded area.

Mechanical dents often occur in transmission pipelines, and are recognized as one of major threats to pipeline integrity because of the potential fatigue failure due to cyclic pressures. With matured in-line-inspection (ILI) technology, mechanical dents can be identified from the ILI runs. Based on ILI measured dent profiles, finite element analysis (FEA) is commonly used to simulate stresses and strains in a dent, and to predict fatigue life of the dented pipeline. However, the dent profile defined by ILI data is a purely geometric shape without residual stresses nor plastic deformation history, and is different from its actual dent that contains residual stresses/strains due to dent creation and re-rounding. As a result, the FEA results of an ILI dent may not represent those of the actual dent, and may lead to inaccurate or incorrect results. To investigate the effect of residual stress or plastic deformation history on mechanics responses and fatigue life of an actual dent, three dent models are considered in this paper: (a) a true dent with residual stresses and dent formation history, (b) a purely geometric dent having the true dent profile with all stress/strain history removed from it, and (c) a purely geometric dent having an ILI defined dent profile with all stress/strain history removed from it. Using a three-dimensional FEA model, those three dents are simulated in the elastic-plastic conditions. The FEA results showed that the two geometric dents determine significantly different stresses and strains in comparison to those in the true dent, and overpredict the fatigue life or burst pressure of the true dent. On this basis, suggestions are made on how to use the ILI data to predict the dent fatigue life.

The production of precision parts requires manufacturing processes which produce low residual stresses. This study was designed to investigate the parametric relationship between machining processes and residual stress distribution. Sets of steel specimens were single point turned at different feeds. The residual stress profiles of these specimens were monitored, using a continuous etching technique. A “Specific Instability Potential” parameter, derived from the strain energy of the residual stresses, was found to relate directly to the machining parameters. It is suggested that the Specific Instability Potential can be used as a parameter for specifying processing operations.

Welded Pipe

Double submerged spiral-welded pipe (SWP) is used extensively throughout the world for large-diameter pipelines. Fabrication-induced residual stresses in spiral welded pipe have received increasing attention in gas, oil and petrochemical industry. Several studies reported in the literature verify the critical role of residual stresses in the failure of these pipes. Therefore, it is important that such stresses are accounted for in safety assessment procedures such as the British R6 and BS7910. This can be done only when detailed information on the residual stress distribution in the component is known. In industry, residual stresses in spiral welded pipe are measured experimentally by means of destructive techniques known as Ring Splitting Test. In this study, statistical analysis and linear-regression modeling were used to study the effect of several structural, material and welding parameters on ring splitting test opening for spiral welded pipes. The experimental results were employed to develop an appropriate regression equation, and to predict the residual stress on the spiral welded pipes. It was found that the developed regression equation explains 36.48% of the variability in the ring opening. In the second part, a 3-D finite element model is presented to perform coupled-field analysis of the welding of spiral pipe. Using this model, temperature as well as stress fields in the region of the weld edges is predicted.
