Residual Stress Measurement in Coated Plates Using Layer Growing/ Removing Methods: 100Th Anniversary of the Publication of Stoney’s Paper “the Tension of Metallic Films Deposited by Electrolysis”

Abstract

In connection with the 100th anniversary of Stoney’s equations, some historical remarks are made with respect to the development of these equations. As an example of the extension of Stoney’s equations, a unique algorithm of the layer growing/removing methods is presented for de­termination of residual stresses in isotropic inhomogeneous coated plates. Using a computer pro­gram based on this algorithm, residual stresses are computed in the galvanic steel coating on the copper plate substrate.
