Systematic review of UIT parameters on residual stresses of sensitized AA5456 and field based residual stress measurements for predicting and mitigating stress corrosion cracking

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. === This thesis focuses on the use of x-ray diffraction to measure residual stresses around welds in aluminum ship structures both in the laboratory and in the field. Tensile residual stresses are often generated during welding and, in sensitiz...
