Abstract

The evolution and development of mankind has been partly possible thanks to the transformation of diverse types of

materials and the manipulation of their mechanical properties. This work is focused on numerical and experimental

evaluations of the improvement of the mechanical resistance of one material (AISI 316L) through the application of

strain hardening and a residual stress field induction. Additionally, the state of the stresses in the component is

determined by the application of the Crack Compliance Method, a destructive method based on the Fracture

Mechanics Theory. The relevance of the work lies on the implementation of a new methodology which can be used to

improve the mechanical resistance of the component by altering the state of the mechanical properties of this

material. This research also demonstrates that strain hardening and induction of a residual stress field must be

performed carefully or it could result in a component susceptible to failure. In this respect, bending tests are proposed

to provide tensile and compressive stress profiles and to corroborate previous history loading on the material
