“…(1) Select two straight lines parallel to the x-and y-axes, respectively, and measure the residual stresses at points evenly distributed on the two lines. (2) Calculate the r 2 value depending on Equations ( 23), ( 25), ( 27), (29), and (31) with the measurements on the line parallel to the x-axis using the increasing truncated series N. Meanwhile, calculate the r 2 values depending on Equations ( 24), ( 26), ( 28), (30), and (32) with the measurements on the line parallel to the y-axis. (3) Select the smaller N, which causes the obtained r 2 values to increase and plateau, as the suitable truncated series do in the following prediction.…”
