Such stress reconstruction requires proper determination of the calculation coefficients. Thus the simulation model for finite elements analyzes is created by means of two different commercial software. Subsequently both simulation results are compared experimentally by measurement on the specimen loaded by known uniaxial state of stress. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajme/2/7/17/ajme-2-7-17.pdf residual stress Ring-Core SolidWorks ANSYS FEM incremental method differential method
