Abstract

Metal-forming operations leave residual stresses in formed parts due to nonuniform deformation occurring during the process. An exact method of determining the longitudinal, radial and circumferential (tangential) residual stresses in axisymmetric specimens was proposed by Mesnager1 and further developed by Sachs2. The boring-out technique can be complemented by a similar procedure in which strains are measured on the inner surface of the tube when material is removed from the outer surface.

The work proposed in this paper extends previous analyses of residual stresses to the case where the material exhibits cylindrical elastic anisotropy, i.e., the principal axes of anisotropy correspond to the longitudinal, radial and circum-ferential directions of the tube. In addition, the present analysis considers the case in which a residual-shear stress, developed by twisting the tube about its axis, exists in the tube. When such shearing stresses are present, the principal axes of the residual-stress distribution are not parallel to the principal axes of the tube.
