This book was released on 1989 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overview of the ASTM Symposium on Analytical and Experimental Methods for Residual Stress Effects in Fatigue, held on 20-21 October 1986 in Phoenix, Arizona, is presented. The background and objective for the symposium are described and the technical papers presented at the symposium and published in the proceedings are summarized. The papers are in two general categories: (1) Effects of residual stress near the surface of a specimen or component -- particularly shot peening applications, and (2) Effects of bulk residual stresses--particularly autofrettaged pressure vessels and piping.
