stress relieving is a common practice among manufacturing codes for reducing the magnitude ofresidual stresses in welded, quenched, and tempered steel structures and pressure vessels. the presentwork investigates the effect of stress relieving at 480, 560, 620, and 680°c on the microstructure andmechanical properties of 20 mm astm a517 gr. b steel plate weldments produced by shielded metal arcw...

An analytical solution is presented that reconstructs residual stress field from limited and incomplete data.  The inverse problem of reconstructing residual stresses is solved using an appropriate form of the airy stress function.  This function is chosen to satisfy the stress equilibrium equations together with the boundary conditions for a domain within a convex polygon.  The analytical solu...

in order to decrease water consumption in agricultural sector, deficit irrigation has been suggested. for preventing a heavy loss in crop yield, management of water stress is essential. common methods for measuring plant water stress such as stomatal conductance are time-consuming and require specialized labor and a large number of measurement. temperature of leaf or canopy surface can be an in...
