Calibration Coefficients

Experimental validation of the calibration coefficients for integral hole-drilling method obtained from an improved three-dimensional FEM model was achieved using bending test of a cantilever beam. The experimental setup is a simple yet accurate method to validate the calibration coefficients obtained by a three-dimensional FEM model. With this experiment, we also validate the adequacy of the criterion applied for thin or thick plates in a previous work. The relieved stresses calculated from the calibration coefficients of the three-dimensional FEM model were compared with those calculated from two-dimensional model calibration coefficients. The results show that the accuracy of relieved stress calculation has been greatly improved as the calibration coefficients based on a three-dimensional model are used for integral hole-drilling method. Significant error in the residual stress measurement and calculation could be arisen if calibration coefficients for integral hole-drilling method were not chosen correctly for corresponding thin plate or thick plate cases according the results of the bending test of cantilever beam. A transitional dimensionless thickness was proposed by examining the calculated relieved stresses obtained from the calibration coefficients for different plate thickness. The probability bounds of relieved stress corresponding to both cases were also calculated to further reveal the improvement of the calibration coefficients obtained from the three-dimensional model.

Calibration Coefficients

One of the important factors affecting the accuracy of stress values obtained from the hole-drilling method is the calibration coefficient. A three-dimensional model was established to determine the calibration coefficients for integral method. The constraint conditions and loading conditions during hole-drilling can be simulated more realistically with this method. With this new model, coefficients a¯i,j and b¯i,j could be determined within one computation procedure. The relationship between calibration coefficients and plate thickness was investigated over a wide range of plate thickness. It has been found that the calibration coefficients determined in this work may vary with thickness of plates and the thickness range for thin plates was thus well defined. The calibration coefficients can thus be extended to measure the residual stresses of either thin or thick plates. Comparison of calibration coefficients with those determined by other studies was also conducted.

Geometric Quality

Modeling ore body in 3D is the basis of digital intelligent mining. However, most existing three-dimensional mining software uses the contour approach that requires too much man–machine interaction and difficult partial updating. Moreover, accounting for uncertainty and low geometric quality picking is very difficult in the direct contour approach. Therefore, an implicit modeling approach to automatically build the three-dimensional model for ore body by means of spatial interpolation directly based on the geological borehole data with Hermite radial basis function (HRBF) algorithm as the core is proposed. Furthermore, in order to solve the problems of weak continuity of models due to the long-distance original boreholes as well as the boundary-point normal solution error, the densification of original borehole data with the virtual borehole as well as the calculation of point-cloud normal direction based on the adjacent hole-drilling method is proposed. The verification of two mine engineering projects and comparison with the explicit modeling results show that this approach could realize the automatic building of three-dimensional models for the ore body with high geometric quality, timely update and accurate results.

A method combining moire´ interferometry, Twyman–Green interferometry, and blind hole drilling method is proposed for simple and accurate determination of residual stress. The relationship between the three-dimensional surface displacements produced by introducing a blind hole and the corresponding residual stress is established by employing the Fourier expansion solution containing a set of undetermined coefficients. The coefficients are calibrated by 3D finite element method. The surface in-plane displacements Ux,Uy, and the out-of-plane displacement Uz produced by the relaxation of residual stress are measured by moire´ interferometry and Twyman–Green interferometry, respectively, after the hole-drilling procedure. The complete three-dimensional displacement data at any single point around the hole can be used for residual stress determination. The accuracy of the method is analyzed and the experimental procedure is described to determine the sign of residual stresses. As an implementation of the method, a shot peening residual stress problem is studied. [S0094-4289(00)00802-1]

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.

Continuous Welded Rail (CWR) has been widely used in modern railway system for it provides smooth ride, higher freight speed, and less maintenance. A major safety concern with this type of structure is the absence of the expansion joints and the potential of buckling in hot weather. According to the FRA safety statistics, the track alignment irregularity is one of the leading factors responsible for the accidents and the most economic/environmental damages, among all the railway accident causes. However, the thermal stress measurement in the CWR for buckling prevention has been an unresolved problem in railroad maintenance. In this study, a method is introduced to determine the in-situ thermal stress of the in-service CWR by using the Hole-Drilling method. The ASTM Hole-Drilling test procedure, as one type of stress relaxation methods, was originally developed to measure the in-plane residual stresses close to the specimen surfaces. The residual stresses are typically computed based on the relieved strains with the calibration coefficients. Inspired by the stress relaxation philosophy, an investigation on the thermal stress measurement of the CWR using the Hole-Drilling test procedure is conducted in this paper. First, the feasibility of using the Hole-Drilling method of the thermal stress measurement is examined via a 3-D finite element model. The stress relaxation computed from the Hole-Drilling test is compared with the applied uniaxial thermal stress. To facilitate the implementation on the CWR, a new set of calibration coefficients with finer depth increment is computed with a novel three-dimensional finite element model for more realistic simulation. The updated coefficients are experimentally validated with an aluminum column specimen under uniaxial load. For the experimental studies, a roadside prototype is developed and two sets of tests are carried out on free-to-expand rail tracks and on rails subjected to controlled thermal loads at UCSD Powell Laboratories. The relieved stresses are computed using the updated calibration coefficients, and a linear relationship between the axial and vertical residual stresses at the neutral axis is observed for both 136RE and 141RE rails. Furthermore, the in-situ thermal stresses are estimated with the residual stress compensation and the neutral temperatures are predicted according to linear thermal expansion theory. These tests illustrate that the determination of the thermal stresses by the Hole-Drilling method is in principle possible, once ways are developed to compensate for the residual stress relaxation. One such compensation is proposed in this paper. A statistical interpretation on the proposed method is also given to provide a reference for railroad applications.

Calibration Coefficients

The Integral Method for calculating non-uniform residual stress fields using strain relaxation data from the incremental hole-drilling method is examined in detail. Finite element calculations are described which evaluate the calibration coefficients required for practical applications of the method. These calibration data are tabulated for a range of hole sizes and depths. It is found that the hole drilling method is not well adapted to measuring stresses remote from the surface, and a theoretical depth limit for stress measurements of 0.5 of the mean radius of the strain gauge rosette, rm, is identified. A practical depth limit is in the range 0.3–0.4 rm.
