[Residual stress evaluation]. / Evaluarea tensiunilor remanente.

ABSTRACT

Paper presents the results of an international research project carried out by author in the laboratories of the University of Pisa, Italy and funded by NATO. Research showed the feasibility of the measurement of residual stress up to 90% of the material yields strength using a four gages rosette and analytical relations. This new method can be used with an improved accuracy in residual stress measurements in bones, prosthesis and implants.
