- The paper demonstrates that the length of test specimen selected is very important for accurate characterisation of residual stress profiles in industrial components. The effect of two extreme welding heat inputs on residual stress distributions in thick components is studied using techniques based on the conventional contour method and an inverse eigenstrain approach. The outcomes of this EPSRC-funded research is of significance to practitioners using the contour method of residual stress measurement because it showed that the inverse eigenstrain approach allowed the original stresses in a full-length specimen to be determined even if measurements were performed on a shorter specimen.
