It involves cutting a slit (i.e., a thin slot) in increments of depth through the thickness of the work piece and measuring the resulting deformations as a function of slit depth. Residual stress as a function of through thickness position is determined by solving an inverse problem using measured deformations. The chapter describes practical measurement procedures, provides a number of example applications, and summarizes efforts to determine the quality of the residual stress information obtained with the method.
