Abstract
A further development of the technique for residual stresses determination in thick-walled structures, which is based on a combination of the hole-drilling method and reflection hologram interferometry, is presented. A plane specimen welded from two equal parts of dimensions 130×80 mm 2 in plane and thickness 12 mm is the object of investigation. Weld seam is performed along the shortest side of the specimen. Residual stress field of interest is formed by a superposition of initial welding-induced field and secondary stress field caused by plastic deformation of the specimen. A set of actual fringe patterns, which corresponds to a wide variety of residual stress components both ratio and sign, are reconstructed and presented as illustrations. A series of reference fringe patterns is simulated for the most typical cases inherent in residual stress field under study. It is shown that actual interferograms obtained belong to three main groups depending on a typical form of fringes configuration. On this base the main principles of creating the general catalogue of fringe patterns are established and the first version of this catalogue, which is related to reflection hologram interferometry, is developed. A structure of the catalogue that consists of both actual interferograms and reference fringe patterns is described. Possible ways of further catalogue completing and its direct implementing in the course of quantitative determination of residual stresses are discussed. It is shown that both experimental and numerical data aggregated into the first version of the catalogue can be effectively used for a verification of various coherent optics techniques with respect to a determination of residual stress components by means of hole drilling. An analysis of capabilities of reflection hologram interferometry in the field of residual stresses determination comparing with dual-beam speckle-interferometric techniques is presented. Superimposed residual stress field is quantitatively described in detail for both specimen sides of dimensions 260×80 mm 2. It is shown that fine nuances inherent in residual stress distributions over different specimen faces can be reliably derived from recorded fringe patterns of any type. This study serves as an example of residual stress components determination in real structure with a type of residual stress field to be investigated is unknown before the experiment.
