Course Objectives Firstly, this course aims to acquaint the students with the concept of residual stresses, measurement techniques, their origin depending on the manufacturing method, their effects on succeeding manufacturing steps, service performance and failure. Secondly, the methods for controlling and intentional imposition of residual stresses (pre-stress engineering) to improve properties and life time of the component will be discussed.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students will develop an understanding of residual stresses as well as their origin depending on the production method.
  • Students will get acquainted with the residual stress measurement techniques.
  • Students will have hands-on-touch experience during laboratory sessions where residual stress measurements are conducted.
Course Content Residual stresses, measurement techniques, effect of residual stresses, residual stress control, pre-stressing techniques.
