Measuring residual stress in an orthotropic material is a difficult task due to the complex behavior of the material. Recently, two different approaches based on Smith's simplified real value formulation and the general solution developed by Lekhnitskii have been proposed. Both solutions assume the measurement of the displacement field via interferometric optical methods and estimate stress values through solving an inverse problem. However, the high sensitivity to vibrations of interferometric techniques makes their use difficult outside optical laboratories; standard Digital Image Correlation could be used, but its low sensitivity and relatively high standard deviation of displacements severely affect the reliability of estimates. In this work we propose to integrate the residual stress displacement functions related to orthotropic materials into the shape functions of Digital Image Correlation. This makes it possible overcome most of the problems related to low sensitivity and large standard deviation because a single large patch can be used for the measurement, thus providing an accurate and reliable algoritm for the measurement of residual stress.

Abstract

Measuring residual stress in an orthotropic material is a difficult task due to the complex behavior of the material. Recently, two different approaches based on Smith's simplified real value formulation and the general solution developed by Lekhnitskii have been proposed. Both solutions assume the measurement of the displacement field via interferometric optical methods and estimate stress values through solving an inverse problem. However, the high sensitivity to vibrations of interferometric techniques makes their use difficult outside optical laboratories; standard Digital Image Correlation could be used, but its low sensitivity and relatively high standard deviation of displacements severely affect the reliability of estimates. In this work we propose to integrate the residual stress displacement functions related to orthotropic materials into the shape functions of Digital Image Correlation. This makes it possible overcome most of the problems related to low sensitivity and large standard deviation because a single large patch can be used for the measurement, thus providing an accurate and reliable algoritm for the measurement of residual stress.
