RESIDUAL STRESS MANAGEMENT
IMPORTANCE OF RESIDUAL STRESS MANAGEMENT
RESIDUAL STRESSES ORIGINATE FROM: Differential plastic flow Differential cooling rates Phase transformations with volume changes etc.
RESIDUAL STRESSES ARE CREATED BY: Welding Machining Forging Rolling Surface treatments
Casting Heat treatment
WHERE RESIDUAL STRESSES ARE IMPORTANT: Fatigue Life Corrosion
Resistance Dimensional Stability Brittle Fracture Distortion

The RESIsTTM is an Expert System for optimization of welded elements and structures by fatigue criterion. The following important parameters of welded structures with the goal to enhance the fatigue performance are analyzed:
preferred design of parts and welded elements;
material selection;
welding and other technological processes;
residual stresses;
application of improvement treatments;
influence of possible repair technologies;
realistic service conditions.
