M. Beghini et al., AN ACCOUNT OF PLASTICITY IN THE HOLE-DRILLING METHOD OF RESIDUAL-STRESS MEASUREMENT, Journal of strain analysis for engineering design, 30(3), 1995, pp. 227-233
The elastic-plastic stress-strain field produced in a thin plate under
equibiaxial loading during the operation of drilling a through-thickn
ess hole was analysed. The plane stress condition and Tresca yield cri
terion were assumed for an elastic-perfectly plastic material. These h
ypotheses allowed the problem to be formulated by means of ordinary di
fferential equations which were analytically solved. Within these part
icular conditions, the results gave indications of the effect produced
by plasticity on the widely used hole-drilling method for residual st
ress measurement. In particular, the equality of final results with th
ose obtained for a plate with a pre-existing hole loaded in an elastic
-plastic regime gives useful indications for the experimental analysis
of the effect of plasticity on residual stress measurement.
