...-static tensile properties. The improved fatigue performance of the roll forged beams over hot-die forged beams is attributed to the fine, close texture and rationalized material flow in the beams processed by the roll forging process. Finite element analysis and experimental strain measurements...

... to validate the numerical models and assess the crankshaft mechanical parameters such as the yield strength and the fatigue limit. An experimental innovative method applied to evaluate the crankshaft residual stresses by means of strain measurements under bending was also developed. This methodology proved...

...Gary S. Schajer; Michael B. Prime Established methods for calculating residual stresses from the strains measured when using the slitting method give results for the stresses that exist within the depth range of the slit. Practical considerations typically limit this range to about 90–95...
