Abstract

Residual stress measurement is one of the most interesting research areas in experimental mechanics. Residual stress is introduced to material due to plastic deformation of parts and can be one of the most effective parameters on design and operation of parts. ASTM E837-01 standard studies residual stress determination in parts by hole drilling method and represent calibration coefficients for flat sheets with constant stress profile. However, there is no certain standard on the residual stress measurement by Incremental Hole Drilling Method (IHDM) which is the subject of this study. IHDM can obtain stress profile by using two modified stress calibration coefficients. In this article, the stress calibration coefficients have been extracted for incremental hole drilling by using finite element analysis (FEA). FEA contains both biaxial tension test and pure shear test which a hole has been drilled step by step in the parts by removing elements and the strains changes were determined at three strain gauge positions on the surface. At last, the calibration coefficients are determined for each step and the accuracy of coefficients have been verified by a set of experimental test and a FE analysis. The experimental test contains four-point bending of an AA5056 flat aluminum sheet. The numerical analysis contains four-point bending of a flat sheet. In both cases, the stress profile can be determined easily by using analytical equations. Average analytical stress in each increment has been calculated and compared with the result of numerical incremental hole drilling method. The comparisons show that numerical and experimental results have no significant differences in first six steps but in the last four steps show an increasing errors due to the change in stress profile and hole geometry. Results presents that the calibration coefficients have suitable accuracy in stress profile determination.

Abstract

In this study, the method of releasing strains for calculating residual stresses in hole drilling process has been considered. For this purpose, a thick piece of cylindrical aluminum of 5 mm thickness has been investigated. Stepwise and high-speed drilling was performed in several successive steps, and released strains were recorded by a rosette strain gauge. The distribution of released strains in 3 forms of functions in the depth of the hole has been studied to transform strains to stresses, a linear function, a second-order function, and a third-order function. For each case, the longitudinal, tangential, shear stresses, principle stresses, and principle angles in the thickness of the piece were calculated and the results of the convergence analysis by the Tikhonov regularization were evaluated. In the end, the results are evaluated and compared for 3 modes. The results of the comparison of stresses and the degree of curves have shown that the third-order curve is more suitable for evaluation of released strains and using to transform them to residual stresses, and the magnitude of the error in the second-order curve is greater than the two other modes.
