Definition

According to Macherauch et al. (1973), “residual stresses are rigidly effective, multiaxial stresses in a solid system that remain without external forces and moments and are in a mechanical equilibrium.” This means that residual stresses are pure internal stresses of a workpiece or a part component. Furthermore, changes in the residual stress distribution are always combined with changes of the part because a new mechanical equilibrium is established after a disturbance of the initial equilibrium.

Theory and Application

Introduction

Residual stresses can be distinguished in macrostresses (Type I) and microstresses (Types II + III) which are characterized by the scale at which they exist within a material. Macrostresses occur over long distances within a material, whereas microstresses exist only locally between workpiece grains or inside a grain (Macherauch et al. 1973).

  • Type I stresses: Macrostresses are almost homogenous over large distances that involve many workpiece...
