- This paper describes a method for the determination of shear stresses from a fracture surface, reporting on an aluminium alloy specimen with a 10 mm square cross-section. This is the lower size limit for a viable specimen with existing measurement limits. The technique adds to the functionality of the Contour Method and enables the measurement of a 2-D map of the three components of the residual stress tensor present at the moment of failure in fractured specimens. This is important for forensic analysis, for example in weld trial specimens, as no alternative method currently exists that can yield this information.
