“…The direct measurements (Jang et al, 2003) can be either destructive (e.g., indentation: Pang et al, 2003 or hole drilling: Hauk, 1997) or nondestructive (Hauk, 1997) including X-ray (laboratory or synchrotron: Bahadur et al, 2004), neutron diffraction (Lorentzen and Ibso, 1995;Webster et al, 2002;Albertini et al, 1997;Webster and Wimpory, 2001), magnetic Barkhausen noise and ultrasonic (Chu et al, 1986;Duquennoy et al, 2001). Numerical techniques to estimate residual stresses have also been developed prosperously (Taljat et al, 1998;Zhu and Chao, 2004) owing to the advancement of finite element approaches (Brust and Zhang, 1997;Veiga et al, 2003;Pathak and Datta, 2004).…”
