This publication, Residual Stress Effects on Fatigue and Fracture Testing and Incorporation of Results into Design, contains papers presented at the Symposium on Residual Stress, which was held in Salt Lake City, UT on 19-20 May, 2004.

Eleven peer-reviewed papers, written by experts in their field, provide an understanding of residual stresses, fatigue crack growth, fatigue lifetime predictions, and their effect on structural integrity. Residual stresses can be present due to processing and manufacturing of materials and structures, so it is imperative to understand how and why they can influence the test data that we used in structural design methodologies. Residual stresses may also be intentionally engineered into structures in attempts to improve fatigue life, and it is equally important that designers understand how to account for these potential effects on fatigue life.
