Institution Royal Aircraft Establishment RAE Date 1970-01-31 Abstract In this paper an investigation is described of residual stresses associated with plastic deformation at a stress concentration in an aluminium alloy specimen. Local stresses were determined, by an indirect method, under a variety of sequences of loads which included peaks high enough to cause local yielding. Sequences at bath zero and a positive mean stress were applied. Conclusions are drawn with respect to the effects of residual stresses generated by such yielding on the accuracy of fatigue life prediction and on the design of loading sequences to be applied in the laboratory as a representation of service loading actions.
