    Abstract

    In this work we evaluate the application of the contour method to fatigue and fracture surfaces. Residual stress measurements were made on quenched and aged AA2124-SiCp composite using neutron diffraction, the contour method with wire EDM, and the contour method on a fatigue crack surface including brittle failure. The contour method successfully measured residual stresses from a wire electro-discharge cut surface, but the fracture method results suggest that residual stress information is lost due to plasticity during fatigue crack growth.
