Measurement of residual stresses and distortions in stiffened panels
Source abstract
Abstract
Methods for measuring residual stresses and distortions in welded structures are described and initial results are given of a survey being carried out during manufacture of warship hull sections. The stresses are determined by measuring the elastic strain induced in the plate and stiffeners due to contraction of the stiffener welds, and profiles of the stiffener and plating after welding have been obtained. The survey is intended to provide information for use in future design calculations of the buckling strength of ship hulls.
