This paper examines the application of the incremental slitting technique for residual stress measurement to plastically deformed four-point bent beams and autogenously edge welded steel beams. Initially a study into a number of factors affecting the series expansion approach was conducted. Due to the over-determined nature of the series expansion approach appropriate selection of polynomial se...

In this research, the incremental slitting method was employed to determine throughthickness residual stress profile of a carbon/epoxy laminate. The method involves measuring strains at the back surface of the stressed specimen, while a narrow slit is cut by a CNC milling machine progressively from the top surface of the specimen. "Pulse Method" was selected as the computational approach for th...

Abstract Background Prior work described an approach for mapping the two-dimensional spatial distribution of biaxial residual stress in plate-like samples, combining multiple slitting measurements with elastic analysis. Objective This paper extends prior by applying a new variation method that uses cut mouth opening displacement (CMOD) rather than back-face strain (BFS). Methods First, CMOD is ...

This paper describes a simple numerical integration method for diffraction integrals which is based on elementary geometrical considerations of the manner in which different portions of the incident wavefront contribute to the diffracted field. The method is applicable in a wide range of cases as the assumptions regarding the type of integral are minimal, and the results are accurate even when ...

To examine the influence of residual stress on mechanical performance, specifically fatigue crack growth resistance, additively manufactured (AM) Type 304L stainless steel produced by directed energy deposition (DED) was evaluated and compared to conventional wrought 304/304L steel. Increasing decreasing alternating intensity factor (?K) tests were used assess behavior over a range rates in nea...

Residual Stress measurement has gained interests among researchers for many years due to its great influence on the structural integrity. Slitting method is one of the destructive techniques that relies on the introduction of an increasing cut to a part containing residual stresses. Similar to all other mechanical strain relief techniques, slitting also suffers from its shortcomings during the ...

The bipotential Ganglion Mother Cells, or GMCs, in the Drosophila CNS asymmetrically divide to generate two distinct post-mitotic neurons. Here, we show that the midline repellent Slit (Sli), via its receptor Roundabout (Robo), promotes the terminal asymmetric division of GMCs. In GMC-1 of the RP2/sib lineage, Slit promotes asymmetric division by down regulating two POU proteins, Nubbin and Mit...

The classical theory of diffraction at plane apertures illuminated by normally incident light is modified so that diffraction on the source side of the screen is taken into consideration and the energy transport across the aperture plane is described by continuous functions. The modified field expressions involve the sums and differences of the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integrals as descr...

To maintain the structural integrity of the engineering components, having an exact knowledge of residual stresses is important. Among all mechanical strain relief techniques to measure residual stresses, slitting is one of the youngest. This technique relies on the introduction of a narrow slot of increasing depth in a part containing residual stresses. Similar to other measurement techniques,...
