Experimental Mechanics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

An overview is provided of the use of eight different optical methods with hole drilling to determine residual stresses. The methods considered are: brittle and photoelastic coatings, Moire interferometry, holographic interferometry, electronic speckle pattern interferometry, interferometric strain rosette, digital image correlation and shearography. A number of applications are summarized, such as the use of hole drilling with holographic interferometry to investigate stresses in rock structures accessed by deep boreholes and to determine manufacturing-induced residual stresses in fillets of small radii.
