The deep-hole drilling (DHD) method is a residual stress measurement method that is widely used for measurements in thick metallic components. In the DHD method a reference hole is first drilled through the thickness of the component. The diameter of the hole is measured accurately and then a cylindrical core of material around the hole is trepanned from the component, relaxing the residual stresses in the core. Finally, the diameter of the reference hole is re-measured and the change in diameter used to calculate the residual stress. In this work the method is used to attempt the measurement of cure and assembly stress in thick AS4/8552 composite laminates. The results indicate that although the DHD method cannot measure cure stress, it is able to measure assembly stress. Futhermore, a modification to the standard DHD method allows the through-thickness component of assembly stress to be measured in angle components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
