Abstract
This paper proposes to present the Methods of Measuring Residual Stress in Components. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of some of the recent advances in the area of residual stress measurement and act as a summary document to aid technique selection. The intention is to provide advice and guidance on some of the issues associated with the measurement of residual stress. The results of a Bacau University survey of current interests and expertise in residual stress measurement are presented, together with guidelines on technique selection and some advice on quantifying the measurement uncertainty and accuracy. The physical limitations of the various techniques currently used are also summarized. The work present a variety of techniques were mentioned including hole drilling, X-ray and neutron diffraction, layer removal, magnetic, ultrasonic, Raman and they are ranked by their popularity below.
