Upcoming Standard Test Method for Determining Residual Stresses by the
Incremental Slitting Method
(August 2011) The standard is delayed indefinitely until we have time to work on it. There are no technical issues with the standard, just a lack of time to work on it.
Currently, the basic procedure for calculating stresses in the standard is that described in the Do it Yourself section of the Help and Resources page. A good experimental procedure is given in the experimental procedure report (LA-UR-03-8629).
In about May 2001, task group E28.13.02 to the ASTM subcommittee E28.13
(Residual Stress Measurement) of committee E28 (Mechanical Testing)
was formed to develop a standard for the slitting (crack compliance) method
of measuring residual stress. The working title of the standard is as shown
above. The current plan on what to consider in the standard is:
- The standard will cover through-thickness measurements as compared
to near surface
- This will complement rather than compete with E897, the hole drilling
standard.
- Through-thickness measurements are simpler calculationally and less
sensitive to stresses induced by cutting.
- The standard will cover the beam/plate geometry and the rod/disk geometry
- The stresses will be calculated using the series expansion approach.
A table of compliances will be provided for each geometry.
Completed work:
Completed items:
- May 2002: at committee week in Pittsburgh, the results of a blind
round robin were presented and discussed. The round robin was on calculation
procedures, and all participants used the same sets of actual
experimental data.
- January 2003: the task group, working independently at home institutions
and communicating electronically, completed a first draft of the standard.
- April 2003: at Task Group meeting was held in Davis to substantially
revise the draft standard and to outline the remaining steps to finish
the standard. Next up is a large set of calculations to determine the
range of applicability of the standard such that a minimum bias (error)
can be expected.
- May 2004: a Task Group meeting was held during committee week in Utah.
Much progress was reported on the calculations to examine errors that
might be expected if one standard table of calibration coefficients
are used. The remaining tasks to be completed were assigned to Task
Group members.
- November 2005: a meeting was held in Los Alamos. The final efforts required to complete the standard were identified and assigned.
