On the Features of Inhomogeneous Residual Stress Identification Using the Digital Speckle Interferometry and the Hole-Drilling Method

Abstract

A phenomenological approach to the actual problem of determining the inhomogeneous residual stress-strain state in the components of high-tech engineering systems at the stages of their design and operation is presented. The approach is based on physical and mechanical methods of measuring displacements. Current physical models describe the physical regularities of the residual states attributed to changes in the structure by the interaction of defects and dislocations in the field of micro- and meso-stresses. At the same time, there are the problems of the transition to the macrolevel, the construction of multilevel models, and the conversion of these models in engineering practice. In the framework of phenomenological approaches, in the general case, the solution of this problem requires the solution of three-dimensional inverse problems of thermoelasticity. A well-known mechanical method for determining a uniform field of residual elastic stresses recommended by ASTM E837 is described. The method proposed earlier by one of the authors for determining an inhomogeneous (in the plane) field of residual elastic stresses is discussed. A method of the three-dimensional inhomogeneous residual elastic stress-strain state determination based on the experimental determination of the displacement vector components by the method of step-by-step point hole-drilling and data of digital speckle interferometry and digital image correlation is developed. The constitutive relations for the components of the displacement vector are written in the form of Volterra integral operators. The basic operator functions are the functions of four variables, i.e., the coordinates of the cylindrical system (r, θ, z) associated with the hole and the hole depth h. A method for verification of the basic functions is presented. The problem is reduced to the determination of three displacement functions of three variables: hole radius r, h, and z. Numerical simulation of basic functions is carried out. The obtained results are consistent with the known experimental data and calculated values of the deformation on the surface depending on the depth of the hole according to the ASTM E837 standard.
