Popis: The incremental hole-drilling method is a well-known mechanical measurement procedure for the analysis of residual stresses. The newly developed PRISM® technology by Stresstech Group measures stress relaxation optically using electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI). In case of autofrettaged components, the large amount of compressive residual stresses and the radius of the pressurized bores can be challenging for the measurement system. This research discusses the applicability of the measurement principle for autofrettaged cylinders made of steel AISI 4140. The residual stresses are measured after AF and after subsequent boring and reaming. The experimental residual stress depth profiles are compared to numerically acquired results from a finite element analysis (FEA) with the software code ABAQUS. Sample preparation will be considered as the parts have to be sectioned in half in order to access the measurement position. Following this, the influence of the boring and reaming operation on the final residual stress distribution as well as the accuracy of the presented measurement setup will be discussed. Finally, the usability of the FEA method in early design stages is discussed in order to predict the final residual stress distribution after AF and a following post-machining operation.
