DOI: 10.1145/3319619.3326824 Residual stresses, both macroscopic and microscopic, are originated during conventional metallurgical processes. Knowing their magnitude and distribution is of great importance in the structural design of applications where fatigue, stress corrosion or thermal cycling occur (e.g., in the aerospace industry). The importance of these stresses is reflected in the large number of articles…

DOI: 10.1016/j.asoc.2015.11.004 This paper presents an evolutionary based method to obtain the un-stressed lattice spacing, d0, required to calculate the residual stress profile across a weld of an age-hardenable aluminum alloy, AA2024. Due to the age-hardening nature of this alloy, the d0 value depends on the heat treatment. In the case of welds, the heat treatment imposed by the…

DOI: 10.1016/j.actamat.2014.04.035 Procedures based on equilibrium conditions (stress and bending moment) have been used to obtain an unstressed lattice spacing, d0, as a crucial requirement for calculating the residual stress (RS) profile across a joint conducted on a 10 mm thick plate of age-hardenable AA2024 alloy by friction stir welding (FSW). Two procedures have been used that…
