Abstract

This paper describes an experimental method for determining the through-thickness distribution of residual stresses in flat plate samples. The technique involves material removal from one surface by chemical etching. With strain gauges attached to the opposite surface of the sample, strains are monitored throughout the test sequence. The distribution of through-thickness residual stresses is determined using appropriate equations.
