Axial cracking and circumferential wrinkling are found at the end of seamless steel tubes during multi-pass large deformations pushing diameter-reducing (PDR), which seriously affects product quality. However, the cracking and wrinkling mechanism of PDR has not been elucidated yet. In this paper, the Equation of circumferential residual stress at the end was deduced from the warping deformation and shear stress. It is revealed that the circumferential residual stress in the end warping area from the inner to outer surface is tensile, and the generation mechanism of circumferential wrinkling on the inner wall at the end was revealed through the deformation analysis of PDR. The geometric model of the tube with periodic alternating variation of wall thickness was established to reveal the generation and development of circumferential wrinkling. In addition, the four-pass PDR experiments and simulations were developed to reveal the influence of reducing pass and wall thickness deviation on the end warpage, unevenness and circumferential residual tensile stress. The pushing-pulling diameter-reducing (PPDR) method was proposed to control the wrinkling and cracking. The simulation and experimental results showed that the end warpage, unevenness and circumferential residual tensile stress are all greatly decreased, and the risk of axial cracking and circumferential wrinkling is eliminated.

Wall thickness is measured by a micrometer on shells after piercing, hollows after rolling and tubes after stretch reducing in an Assel production line for seamless steel tubes. The characteristics of wall thickness eccentricity are exhibited, and the heredity and origin of wall thickness eccentricity are analyzed. Finally, the factors influencing wall thickness eccentricity are discussed. The results show that: (1) Wall thickness eccentricity originates from temperature eccentricity in cross section of round billets, comes into being on shells in piercing process, and is passed down to hollows and finally to tubes; (2) Bigger feed angle of piercing, smaller plug diameter and less stability of plug bar will increase wall thickness eccentricity, while complying to the influence of temperature eccentricity on round billets.

To grind fused silica in ductile mode, it was proposed to repair surface and subsurface micro cracks of fused silica by CO2 laser irradiation. However, excessive residual stress remains on the surface because the melt fused silica on the surface quenches in air. It causes the critical depth of cut for ductile grinding fused silica to be smaller than 0.2μm. To investigate the distribution of the residual stress and look for an optimal manner of irradiation to control residual tensile stress, a numerical model of was built for simulating the dynamic behavior of fused silica when irradiated by CO2 laser. Laser energy absorption, heat transmission, viscoelastic behavior of fused silica and thermally induced stress were considered in the numerical simulation. The results show how the residual stress is formed and distributed. We found that an appropriate control of the temperature field as a function of time and position in the laser process is the key to reduce the residual stress. Therefore, three kinds of processes were proposed to reduce residual tensile stress on the surface of fused silica introduced by laser irradiation. The residual stress distributions of these three processes were compared by numerical analysis to decide a better method of laser irradiation.

The stress distribution on the midsection of a pure bending beam where tensile strain localization band initiates on the tensile side of the beam and propagates within the beam is analyzed. Using the static equilibrium condition on the section of the midspan of the beam and the assumption of plane section as well as the linear softening constitutive relation beyond the tensile strength, the expressions for the length of tensile strain localization band and the distance from the tip of the band to the neutral axis are derived. After superimposing a linear unloading stress distribution over the initial stress distribution, the residual stress distribution on the midsection of the beam is investigated. In the process of strain localization band’s propagation, strain-softening behavior of the band occurs and neutral axis will shift. When the unloading moment is lower, the length of tensile strain localization band remains a constant since the stress on the base side of the beam is tensile stress. While, for larger unloading moment, with an increase of unloading moment, the length of tensile strain localization band decreases and the distance from the initial neutral axis to the unloading neutral axis increases. The neutral axis of midsection of the beam will shift in the unloading process. The present analysis is applicable to some metal materials and many quasi-brittle geomaterials (rocks and concrete, etc) in which tensile strength is lower than compressive strength. The present investigation is limited to the case of no real crack. Moreover, the present investigation is limited to the case that the length of strain localization band before unloading is less than half of depth of the beam. Otherwise, the residual tensile stress above the elastic neutral axis will be greater than the tensile strength, leading to the further development of tensile strain localization band in the unloading process.

Recent work using x-ray diffraction techniques has shown that the axial residual stress pattern within the railroad wheel rim is significantly different for as-manufactured AAR Class C wheels vs. AAR Class C wheels that have failed due to a vertical split rim (VSR), and non-failed AAR Class C wheels that have been operating in service. VSRs almost always begin at areas of tread damage, resulting from shelling or spalling, and cracking propagates into the rim section under load. At the locations tested, the as-manufactured wheels have a relatively “flat” axial residual stress profile, compressive but near neutral, caused by the rim quenching operation, while wheels that have been in service have a layer of high axial compressive stress at the tread surface, and a balancing zone of axial tensile stress underneath. The magnitude and direction of this tensile stress is consistent with the crack propagation of a VSR failure. When cracks from the tread surface propagate into this sub-surface axial tensile zone, a VSR can occur under sufficient additional service loading, such as loads caused by in-service wheel/rail impacts from tread damage. Further, softer Class U wheels, removed from service and tested, were found to have a balancing axial tensile stress layer that is deeper below the tread surface than that found in used Class C wheels. This paper describes further efforts to characterize the axial residual stress present in failed VSR and used Class C wheels. Axial residual stress results are obtained near the initiation point of several VSR wheels using x-ray diffraction. Sub-surface axial residual stress patterns are also determined at points of high out-of-roundness for a group of wheels that were tested for TIR (total indicated runout) on the tread surface. Residual stress data and a photo are presented for a wheel rim slice containing a second VSR crack. Additionally, wheel rim ultrasonic testing data, collected by the wheel manufacturer when the wheels were new, are discussed for wheels that have failed due to VSRs and these data are compared to ultrasonic data for non-VSR wheels. Chemistry data are also compared. These data show that the driving force for VSRs is axial residual tensile stress, not a material cleanliness issue.

The aerospace component material GH4169 has low thermal conductivity and poor machinability, resulting in difficulty to guarantee good surface quality after conventional cutting. High-pressure cooling assisted machining technology can effectively improve the problem. In order to study the effect of high-pressure cooling assisted processing technology on the machined surface quality of GH4169, in this paper, Deform-3D was first used to construct a thermo-mechanical coupling finite element model for turning GH4169 under high-pressure cooling conditions, to analyze the turning temperature and surface residual stress. Then, analysis was carried out on the residual stress, work hardening behavior, and metamorphic layer of the GH4169 machined surface, in combination with the turning experiment. The results show that, under the conditions of little feeding and highspeed cutting, the GH4169 turning surface generates residual tensile stress along with both the feeding and turning directions. Moreover, the residual tensile stress gradually turns into the residual compressive stress along the depth direction. The application of high-pressure coolant can reduce the residual tensile stress of the machined surface. As the cooling pressure increases, the residual tensile stress of the machined surface decreases. The coupling effect between thermal deformation and plastic deformation when turning GH4169 can cause the work hardening of the surface, and the hardening degree decreases with the increase of cooling pressure. The high-pressure cooling assisted machining technology can effectively reduce surface plastic deformation, and promote the lessening of grain refinement degree of the material surface, thereby reducing the thickness of the metamorphic layer.

ABSTRACTResidual stress in molecular beam epitaxially (MBE) grown GaAs films on 4°-off (100)Si substrates is investigated with X-ray diffraction technique. It is experimentally confirmed that the GaAs lattice suffers tetragonal deformation with the c-axis being [100]. The GaAs lattice tilts by approximately 0.2° towards the tilted direction of the substrate. It is found that two-dimensional compressive stress dominates in GaAs films thinner than 0.3 μm in thickness, while two-dimensional tensile stress dominates in thicker films. The variation of the stress is understood in terms of a combination of misfit stress and thermal stress. The residual tensile stress is larger than 1 × 109 dyn/cm2 in the films thicker than I pm. The effect of the stress on the reliability of semiconductor laser diodes is discussed.

BS700 high-strength steel is widely used in engineering. Welding residual stress during the manufacturing process has a significant influence on the structural safety and service life of steel structures. In this study, the residual stress of a BS700 butt-welded box section axial compression member was studied by the blind-hole method, its distribution law was summarized, and a residual stress distribution model was established. By establishing a finite element model considering initial geometric imperfection and residual stress, the influence of residual stress on the stability of axial compression members was analyzed. The results illustrated that the residual tensile stress near the weld in the welded box section axial compression members was the largest: the average residual tensile stress reached 76.6% of the measured steel yield strength, the residual tensile stress at the roof and web were almost the same, and the residual tensile stress at the corner was approximately 11.6% of the measured yield strength. The residual stress had a different influence on the stability factor of the axial compression members with different width-thickness ratios, and the influence decreased with the increase in the width-thickness ratio. In addition, when the slenderness ratio of members ranged between 20 and 70, the residual stress had a significant influence on the stability of members, while outside that interval, the influence was relatively small.

To accurately evaluate the influence of the actual tension and compression state and stress ratio at the deck-to-rib welding seam position on the fatigue life of a bridge deck, this paper establishes a coupled stress analysis model that considers the welding residual stress and vehicle stress. Taking the Jiangyin Bridge as an example, a qualitative analysis of the fatigue life under the vehicle load and residual stress field is carried out using the proposed method. A case analysis showed that when the residual tensile stress in the welding seam position is superimposed on the mainly tensile cyclic vehicle load stress, the longitudinal stress relaxation exceeds the peak vehicle load stress; significant longitudinal stress relaxation occurred, while the transverse stress relaxation is not significant. However, when the residual tensile stress is superimposed on the mainly compressive cyclic vehicle load stress, the relaxations of both the longitudinal and transverse stresses are not obvious. Compared with the stress state of the welding point under the action of only the vehicle stress, when the coupling effect of the residual stress and vehicle stress is considered, i.e., the loading condition, the fatigue stress state of the weld point has undergone an essential change under cyclic compressive stress, that is, the compressive stress state that does not require a fatigue check is changed to the tensile stress state. Although the fatigue state of the tensile stress cycle condition has not changed, the fatigue life is reduced by varying degrees under either the compressive or tensile condition.
