Residual stress measurement on a tube using EN2718
Hill Engineering was recently asked to perform a residual stress measurement on a tube specimen in accordance with EN2718, which defines the calculation of circumferential residual stress in circular tubes with a ratio D/a ≥ 10, where D is the tube outer diameter and a is the tube wall thickness. Before splitting the tube section…
