Measurement and prediction of residual stress generated by local compression (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In order to assess the effect of a residual stress field on the fracture behaviour of materials, a well-defined residual stress field, with known characteristics, such as triaxiality, must be generated in a controllable and reproducible manner. In th... Read More about Measurement and prediction of residual stress generated by local compression.

A finite element simulation and an experimental study of autofrettage for strain hardened thick-walled cylinders (2003)
Journal Article

The effect of the autofrettage process on high pressure cylinders has been investigated. Both numerical and experimental techniques have been used for the investigation. It was observed that the best autofrettage pressure for raising the pressure cap...

Influence of residual stress on the fracture behaviour of an aluminium alloy (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Influence of residual stresses on fracture response of an Aluminum alloy is investigated. Cylindrical flat ended punching tools are employed to introduce residual stresses on 15mm thick C (T) specimens. The residual stress field resulting from Local...

Combined effect of residual stress and loading history on brittle fracture (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The aim of this paper is to examine the influence of residual stress (RS) and loading history on the subsequent low-temperature cleavage fracture resistance of ferritic steel structures such as pressure vessels. Three dimensional finite element analy... Read More about Combined effect of residual stress and loading history on brittle fracture.
