This is an authoritative reference which details the impact of residual stresses on mechanical properties of materials and structures.
Twenty-four authors from six countries have contributed to this reference which includes detailed descriptions of various measuring techniques: hole drilling, layer removal, sectioning, X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, ultrasonic methods and magnetic methods. It should also provide help in selecting the right technique to carry out residual stress measurements in specific cases. This book should enable metallurgists, materials scientists, and design and manufacturing engineers to improve quality control and become familiar with recent developments in residual stress measuring techniques. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
