The axisymmetric problem of determining the residual stresses in thick plates

We propose a method of determining the residual (technological) stresses in structural elements that can be regarded as plates in a computational model. The initial data are the equations of mechanics for bodies with initial stresses and experimental information obtained using nondestructive physical testing.Translated fromMatematichni Metodi ta Fiziko-Mekhanichni Polya, Vol. 40, No. 3, 1997, pp. 113–119.
