Abstract

The blind-hole method is widely applied in measuring the residual stress of metal component surfaces. In this paper, the Monte Carlo method is used to analyze the uncertainty of strain release coefficients which are influenced by the unreasonable assumptions made in the process of residual stress measurement. Based on a theoretical formula, MATLAB programs were designed to evaluate the error dispersion of the strain release coefficients for the blind-hole method. Compared with the values calibrated by test, it is shown that the uncertainty of the strain release coefficients can be evaluated reasonably by the use of the Monte Carlo method. In addition, the values predicted by the Monte Carlo method are more meaningful and suited to practical application.

Kurzfassung

Das Bohrlochverfahren wird breitflächig angewendet, um die Eigenspannungen auf den Oberflächen metallischer Komponenten zu messen. In den dem vorliegenden Beitrag zugrundeliegenden Forschungsarbeiten wird das Monte-Carlo-Verfahren angewendet, um die Unsicherheit von Spannungsabbaukoeffizienten zu analysieren, die durch unvernünftige Annahmen während der Messung von Eigenspannungen beeinflusst werden. Basierend auf den theoretischen Formeln wurden Programme mit der MATLAB-Routine geschrieben, um den Fehler in der Verteilung der Spannungsabbaukoeffizienten für das Bohrlochverfahren zu evaluieren. Im Vergleich mit den in Versuchen kalibrierten Werten zeigte sich, dass die Unsicherheit der Spannungsabbaukoeffizienten unter Anwendung des Monte-Carlo-Verfahrens angemessen evaluiert werden kann. Darüber hinaus sind die mittels des Monte-Carlo-Verfahrens vorhergesagten Koeffizienten plausibler und für die praktische Anwendung geeignet.
