The relevance of residual stresses in engineering components is being increasingly appreciated by modern engineers concerned with design and performance. The no

While residual stress can be a problem in many industries and lead to early failure of component, it can also be introduced deliberately to improve lifetimes. K

Stress develops during the synthesis and use of materials such as alloys and compounds. Measurement of residual stress is essential to improve the quality of sy
