Hole drilling is the most widespread method for measuring residual stress. It is based on the principle that drilling a hole in the material causes a local stress relaxation; the initial residual stress can be calculated by measuring strain in correspondence with each drill depth. Recently optical techniques were introduced to measure strain; in this case, the accuracy of the final results depends, among other factors, on the proper choice of the area of analysis. Deformations are in fact analyzed within an annulus determined by two parameters: the internal and the external radius. In this paper, the influence of the choice of the area of analysis was analysed. A known stress field was introduced on a Ti grade 5 sample and then the stress was measured in correspondence with different values of the internal and the external radius of analysis; results were finally compared with the expected theoretical value.

The incremental hole-drilling method is a well-known mechanical measurement procedure for the analysis of residual stresses. The newly developed PRISM® technology by Stresstech Group measures stress relaxation optically using electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI). In case of autofrettaged components, the large amount of compressive residual stresses and the radius of the pressurized bores can be challenging for the measurement system. This research discusses the applicability of the measurement principle for autofrettaged cylinders made of steel AISI 4140. The residual stresses are measured after AF and after subsequent boring and reaming. The experimental residual stress depth profiles are compared to numerically acquired results from a finite element analysis (FEA) with the software code ABAQUS. Sample preparation will be considered as the parts have to be sectioned in half in order to access the measurement position. Following this, the influence of the boring and reaming operation on the final residual stress distribution as well as the accuracy of the presented measurement setup will be discussed. Finally, the usability of the FEA method in early design stages is discussed in order to predict the final residual stress distribution after AF and a following post-machining operation.

Tensile residual stress in friction stir welded (FSW) Aluminum alloy joints is well known to be detrimental to fatigue resistance properties of joints imperiled to dynamic loading. Hence, it is important to translate the prevailing tensile residual stress to a more favorable compressive residual stress to enhance the fatigue life cycle of the welded joints. In this study, the longitudinal and transverse residual stress for FSW AA 6061 joints is measured using the hole-drilling method with electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) for various conditions. This method combines the tried-and-true hole-drilling method with digital imaging and ESPI, eliminating the application of a strain gage through stress depth profile measurements by incremental drilling. The residual stress is measured for the FSW as-welded and high frequency mechanical impact/pneumatic impact treatment (HFMI/PIT)-treated conditions.

Theoretical, calculated, and experimental results of studies on the registration of the accounting effect of plasticity in the diagnosis of axisymmetric stresses by the hole method and speckle-interferometric detection of the field of normal displacements in its vicinity are presented. Theoretical and computational studies were carried out on a disk model of finite thickness from an ideally elastic–plastic material. The theoretical model considers the formation of elastoplastic deformations in the vicinity of the through hole; the calculated finite element model considers in the vicinity of both through and blind holes of different depths. It was noted that at the blind hole, the most informative are the movements of the axisymmetric bend caused by the violation by the blind hole of symmetry of the disk with respect to its median plane. At the same time, an approximate analytical method has been developed to calculate the stresses that cause only elastic deformations. Experimental studies were carried out on a series of samples in the form of steel disks with axisymmetric stresses near the yield point. These stresses were induced by the hot fit of grinded rings from hardened high-strength steel onto disks made of steel with a low yield strength. Examples are given which show that the stress values determined from normal displacements in the vicinity of the probe holes from the calculated–theoretical and experimental are similar.
