“…Though, destructive & non-destructive type measurement approaches are included in this group but all possible varieties of measurement techniques are not equally effective. Some mostly used destructive stress measurement techniques are a) Sectioning Method 2, 3,9) b) Contour Method 10,11) c) Hole-drilling Method 1,2,3) d) Slitting method 12,13) e) Ring core Method 14,15) etc. Nowadays, several advanced non-destructive techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique 16,17) , Neutron diffraction technique 18,19) , Ultrasonic technique 20,21) , Positron annihilation spectroscopic technique (PAS) 22) , Barkhausen noise method 23,24) etc.…”
