Cold expansion is an established mechanical process that introduces beneficial compressive residual stresses around engineered holes, thereby enhancing the fatigue life of structural components. This ...

Autofrettage is an established process in which controlled plastic deformation is induced in the inner layers of thick-walled cylinders to create beneficial compressive residual stresses. This ...

In addition to surface and subsurface defects, residual stress represents a concern. Over time, these stress points, ...
