“…Residual stress has been assessed using a number of methods: hole drilling, the curvature method, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectrophotometer and neutron diffraction, and magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Residual stress has been reported to be related to mechanical properties such as fatigue life, distortion, dimensional stability, and brittle fracture.…”
