Results: Residual Stresses After Foreign Object Damage (i.e. Impact/Penetration Event.) Over cross-section of plate

measured residual stresses

Impact left a region of very high compressive residual stress under the impact crater
High tensile stresses at edges of plate are from flame cutting specimen from larger plate, not from impact event
Plate still shows background quenching stresses that were there before impact

Specimen:

Same HSLA-100 steel as quench plate measurement
Impacted by tungsten carbide sphere traveling at 2.2 km/sec.
Figure shows plate already cut through one of several impact craters

Measurement Details

Cut in Mitsubishi FX-10 wire EDM with 150 µm (0.006") diameter brass wire.
Surface contour measured using MS Impact II CMM.
Stresses calculated by applying opposite of measured contour to FEM model

Measurement of surface contour in Coordinate Measuring Machine

FEM Model used to calculate residual stress from measured data. Front surface (surface that was cut) is deformed into opposite shape of measured contour
