Abstract
The hole-drilling method is widely used to measure residual stresses in mechanical components. Recent developments have shown that strains measured on the surface during an incremental drilling can be related to residual-stress distribution. Researchers throughout the world have proposed different calibration methods which lead to more or less accurate results.
The present paper discusses different approaches used. A new calibration method is proposed. We also show how finite-element analysis can be used to determine the correlation coefficients. The variation of the strains measured on the surface for each increment is due to, first, the residual stresses in the layer and, second, the change of the hole geometry. Most authors do not consider the latter aspect. Our results show that this causes a significant error in the experimental data. The finite-element method has been used to compute the coefficients for all types of strain-gage rosettes when the hole diameter is predetermined.
Another problem of the hole-drilling method is the selection of the drilling tool. Two systems have been studied: ultra-high-speed air turbine and conventional milling machine. The method has been applied on both shot-peened and water-quenched test specimens. The results are successfully compared with the bending-deflection and the X-ray method.
