An introductory and intermediate level handbook written inpragmatic style to explain residual stresses and to providestraightforward guidance about practical measurementmethods.
Residual stresses play major roles in engineering structures,with highly beneficial effects when designed well, and catastrophiceffects when ignored. With ever-increasing concern forproduct performance and reliability, there is an urgent need for arenewed assessment of traditional and modern measurementtechniques. Success critically depends on being able to makethe most practical and effective choice of measurement method for agiven application.
Practical Residual Stress Measurement Methods providesthe reader with the information needed to understand key residualstress concepts and to make informed technical decisions aboutoptimal choice of measurement technique. Each chapter,written by invited specialists, follows a focused and pragmaticformat, with subsections describing the measurement principle,residual stress evaluation, practical measurement procedures,example applications, references and further reading. Thechapter authors represent both international academia andindustry. Each of them brings to their writing substantialhands-on experience and expertise in their chosen field.
Fully illustrated throughout, the book provides a much-neededpractical approach to residual stress measurements. The material presented is essential reading for industrialpractitioners, academic researchers and interested students.
Key features:
* Presents an overview of the principal residual stressmeasurement methods, both destructive and non-destructive, withcoverage of new techniques and modern enhancements of establishedtechniques
* Includes stand-alone chapters, each with its own figures,tables and list of references, and written by an invited team ofinternational specialists
