RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Menda, František A1 Trebuňa, František A1 Šarga, Patrik T1 New Method of Residual Stress Evaluation and its Advantages in Comparison with More Common Hole-drilling Method JF Acta Mechanica Slovaca YR 2013 VO 17 IS 4 SP 64 OP 70 DO 10.21496/ams.2013.048 UL https://www.actamechanica.sk/artkey/ams-201304-0009.php AB Residual stress evaluation in constructions and mechanical parts is a necessary task in every modern industrial factory. Right evaluated changes in lifetime and loading conditions could save amount of money and increase the human safety. The Department of Applied Mechanics and Mechatronics has a long tradition in developing and practical usage of semi-destructive methods for determining residual stresses. Especially by using hole-drilling method and recently also Ring-Core method. Main characteristics and comparison of both methods with emphasis on Ring-Core analysis are discussed in this article.
