Science and Education Publishing American Journal of Mechanical Engineering 1 7 2013 11 15 Analysis of Measuring Chain for Evaluating Residual Stresses by Ring-Core Method 313 317 EN Patrik Šarga Department of Applied Mechanics and Mechatronics, Technical university in Košice, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Letná 9, 042 01 Košice, Slovakia František Menda AJME20131732 10.12691/ajme-1-7-32 2013 10 21 2013 10 30 2013 11 15 In this article we describe the parts of measuring string used for residual stress calculations by Ring-Core method. Correct design and usage of the measuring chain is very important for successful measurement and the accurate data acquisition. Therefore it is sufficient to pay adequate attention to this problem before the experimental testing itself.
