Device and Methods for Measuring of Acoustic Anisotropy and the Residual Stress in the Main Gas Pipelines’ Metal by L. V. Volkova, O. V. Murav’eva, V. V. Murav’ev, I. V. Buldakova

“…Both techniques are implemented by sounding the sample in one section using a longitudinal wave and two shear waves with mutually perpendicular polarization planes coinciding with the main stresses, and measuring their propagation times.It is shown that the stress state distribution both in the circumferential direction and along the generatrix is uneven which is caused by the peculiarities of samples (presence of a welded joint, stress corrosion cracking, long-term operation). …”
