Residual stress is the common type of stress found in cold worked components and others.

2. INRODUCTION
Residual stress in a roll-formed hollow structural
section causes it to gape when cut with a band-
saw.
Residual stresses are stresses that remain in a
solid material after the original cause of the
stresses has been removed. Residual stress may
be desirable or undesirable. For example, laser
peening imparts deep beneficial compressive
residual stresses into metal components such as
turbine engine fan blades, and it is used
in toughened glass to allow for large, thin, crack-
and scratch-resistant glass displays
on smartphones. However, unintended residual
stress in a designed structure may cause it to fail
prematurely.

COMMON SOURCES OF RESIDUAL
STRESSES

4. LASER PEENING
Laser wavelength is about
0.04 µinch (1 µm).
Pulse duration 10-50
nanoseconds.
Pulse energy 50-100
joules.
Beam diameter 0.2” (5
mm).

5. SHOT PEENING
• Shot peening is a cold working process used to
produce a compressive residual stress layer and
modify mechanical properties of metals and
composites.
• It entails impacting a surface with shot (round
metallic, glass, or ceramic particles) with force
sufficient to create plastic deformation

Ultrasonic methods
Magnetic methods

MEASURING OF RESIDUAL STRESSES

7. Hole drilling strain gage procedure
1.Install a special three to six strain gage rosette at the
point where stresses are to be measured.
2.Wire the strain gages to a static strain indicator.
3.Attach and accurately position a drilling device over the
target of the rosette.
4.Balance the gage circuits.
5.Drill hole in increments, being careful not to generate
heat that would induce residual stresses.
6.Record strains after the strain indicator has stabilized.
7.Calculate stresses using strain data by means of
formulas reported in ASTM E 837-08
