Abstract:
Residual stresses can have a strong effect on the usability of machined parts, and the X ray diffraction (XRD) measuring equipment, which is commonly used to measure residual stresses, is very expensive. This paper presents a method of easuring the residual stresses induced by boring in the internal surface of a tube with much cheaper equipment. The method, called the strain-based method is mainly based on the strains measured on the external surface of the tube. It is proposed on the basis of the very long tube assumption. The finite element method (FEM) analysis is thus used to validate the length of the tube. Guided by the FEM results, an appropriate length of the tube is chosen, and the residual stresses are obtained from both the strain based method and the XRD method. Stress profiles obtained from both two methods are compared. The comparison result indicates that the profiles of the two methods agree well with each other. Therefore, it can be concluded that the accuracy of the strain based method is high enough, and it can be applied to residual stress measurement in practice.
