In this paper, fiber waviness, as one of the most frequently occurring defects in fiber reinforced composites, is numerically investigated with regard to the formation of residual stresses in fiber metal laminates. Furthermore, the prediction of the residual stress state in the thickness direction by means of the simulated hole drilling method is studied. To this regard, a global-local finite element analysis based on the submodel technique is presented. The submodel technique essentially consists of two governing steps: In the first step, a global model is first utilized to calculate and analyze the residual stress distribution and deformation in the intrinsically joined hybrid structure. Effective cure-dependent thermo–elastic properties predicted by a numerical homogenization procedure were used to simulate the curing-process and analyze the residual stresses state. However, the dimension of the intrinsically manufactured hybrid plate is large compared to the diameter of the drilled hole (2 mm), so that a local model is necessary, which provides only a geometric partial portion of the global model. The local model takes the global stress state into account and is subsequently used to simulate the incremental hole drilling method with a refined mesh discretization. The production-related fiber waviness is modeled by an element-wise orientation approximating a sinus function. In order to validate the global-local modeling approach, a comparison between numerical results and experimental data from literature is presented. The comparison between global residual stress state (global model) and the simulated hole drilling method (local model) is used to assess the applicability and reliability of the hole drilling method in case of fiber waviness. It is found that an in-plane fiber waviness leads to a rather low variance of residual stresses over thickness. In case of an out-of-plane fiber waviness, oscillating residual stress fields occur over the entire thickness along the fiber direction. Moreover, the current limits of the incremental hole drilling method could be pointed out by the presented investigations. It is seen that the simulated results of the incremental hole drilling method are sensitive to waviness, even if the amplitude-wavelength-ratio is small. Without further adjustment of the calibration coefficients the oscillating stress and strain fields lead, in particular fiber waviness in thickness direction, to unreliable predictions. For the experimental application it can be concluded that the specimens have to be carefully examined with regard to fiber waviness.

One of the most popular and widely used technique for measuring residual stresses is the hole-drilling method. By this method, it is possible to evaluate only biaxial residual stresses located in plane parallel to the surface, but some processes produce a triaxial stress state. For this reason, the evaluation of triaxial stress state by the method used for biaxial state was assessed in this paper. A hole-drilling experiment was simulated by the finite element method for two different stress states. The first stress state considered constant residual stresses in all directions. The second one considered constant residual stresses in a plane parallel to the surface and the residual stress in a direction perpendicular to the surface was equal to zero on the surface and increased with depth. Both states were simulated for various ratios of stress in a direction perpendicular to the stresses in plane. The obtained results show that residual stress in a perpendicular direction affects the evaluation of residual stresses in plane. If the residual stress in the perpendicular direction is high compared to stresses in plane, the error produced by the evaluation of triaxial stress state by the method for biaxial stress state can also be high. 1 Introduction

A new method combining Moire´ interferometry and the incremental hole-drilling method is developed to determine both uniform and nonuniform residual stress distribution in depth. The study is reported in two parts. In this first part, the theoretical development of the moire´ interferometry hole-drilling method is presented. The relationship between the in-plane surface displacements produced by introducing a blind hole and the corresponding residual stresses is established by employing the existing theoretical solution containing a set of undetermined coefficients. The coefficients are calibrated by the three-dimensional finite element method and they are processed nondimensionally for general use. The whole field in-plane surface displacements data Ux and Uy produced by the relaxation of residual stresses are obtained from moire´ interferometry after each increment of hole drilling. The high signal-to-noise ratio provided by moire´ interferometry allows accurate determination of fringe orders near the hole boundary which is essential for enhancing fidelity of residual stress determination. The experimental procedure to determine the signs of residual stresses is described and the accuracy of the method is also discussed.

Abstract The hole drilling method was used to determine residual stresses in bimetallic composite manufactured by explosive welding process. The analyzed bimetal consist of titanium Grade 1 (6mm) and S355J2+N steel (40mm). The aim of the paper is to establish the influence of the heat treatment on residual stress state in titanium layer. Residual stress calculations were performed according to standards developed by strain gauge manufacturer (TML) and ASTM standards. The main conclusion is the heat treatment considerably changes the residual stress state in titanium layer from tensile stress state (no heat treatment) to compression stress state (after the heat treatment).

This work investigates the effect of residual stresses on the damage of composite laminate. The incremental hole-drilling method is applied to determine residual stresses in composite laminates [02/θ2]s and then acoustic emission technique is used for the identification of damage appearance during the tensile testing. The samples with different residual stress distribution are prepared through curing and post curing in order to study the role of residual stress on the damage of composite laminates. Besides the experimental method, the theoretical approach is applied to illustrate the role of residual stress on the damage of composite laminates.

The objective of this paper is to study the influence of residual stresses due to fabrication conditions on the thermomechanical behavior of carbon/epoxy laminate structures (cross ply). These studied laminates have undergone various cycles of thermal aging. The addition of a post-cure cycle after the end of the initial cycle makes it possible to reduce the residual stresses level. The incremental hole-drilling method is used to measure the residual strain in the laminates. These measured strains and the numerical calibration coefficients obtained by the finite element method allow to calculating the residual stress distribution in composite depth. The obtained results show that heat treatments of composite structures do not lead to an important reduction the initial residual stress due the fabrication conditions.

Relieved strains due to drilling hole in a ring sample cut from an autofrettage cylinder are measured. Measured strains are then transformed to residual stresses using calibration constants and mathematical relations of elasticity based on ASTM standard recommendations (American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM E 837-08, 2008, “Standard Test Method for Determining Residual Stresses by the Hole-Drilling Strain-Gage Method,” American Society for Testing and Materials). The hydraulic autofrettage is pressurizing a closed-end long cylinder beyond its elastic limits and subsequently removing the pressure. In contrast to three-dimensional stress state in the autofrettage tube, the stress measurement in hole drilling method is performed on a traction free surface formed from cutting the ring sample. The process of cutting the ring sample from a long autofrettaged tube is simulated using finite element method (FEM) and the redistribution of the residual stress due to the cut is discussed. Hence, transformation of the hole drilling measurements on the ring slice to the autofrettage residual stresses is revealed. The residual stresses are also predicted by variable material properties (VMP) method (Jahed, H., and Dubey, R. N., 1997, “An Axisymmetric Method of Elastic-Plastic Analysis Capable of Predicting Residual Stress Field,” Trans. ASME J. Pressure Vessel Technol., 119, pp. 264–273) using real loading and unloading behavior of the test material. Prediction results for residual hoop stress agree very well with the measurements. However, radial stress predictions are less than measured values particularly in the middle of the ring. To remove the discrepancy in radial residual stresses, the measured residual hoop stress that shows a self-balanced distribution was taken as the basis for calculating residual radial stresses using field equations of elasticity. The obtained residual stresses were improved a lot and were in good agreement with the VMP solution.

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.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a well-known technique which allows joining of metal parts without severe distortion. Because FSW involves less heat input relative to conventional welding, it may be assumed that cutting specimens from larger friction stir welded components results in a negligible redistribution of residual stresses. The aim of the investigations was to verify these assumptions for a welded aluminum plate and a circumferentially-welded aluminum cylinder. Strain gage measurements, X-ray diffraction and the incremental hole drilling method were used.
