“…Moreover, commonly used experimental methods (as listed on Table 1 ) do not provide any information on the deformation history, unlike the DIC technique. Previously, DIC has been used to quantify residual stresses in various applications; some are completely performed in a non-destructive way [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ] and some are combined with a destructive measurement technique such as DIC-aided hole drilling [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ], DIC-aided slitting [ 40 , 49 ], DIC-aided focused ion beam (FIB) micro ring/region milling/drilling [ 50 , 51 , 52 ], etc. Application of DIC for residual stress measurements includes composites [ 40 ], selective laser-melted parts [ 43 , 51 ], arc-welded steel tubes [ 41 ] and plates [ 44 ], friction stir butt-welded joints [ 49 ], thin-film coatings [ 42 ], cold spray deposits [ 52 ], plasma spray coatings [ 53 ], etc.…”
