Hole-Drilling Handbook

A new handbook Hole-Drilling Method for Measuring Residual Stress was published by Morgan & Claypool in 2018. The book gives a practical description of the Hole-Drilling Method, and is useful for both newcomers and experienced practitioners. Selected excerpts are publicly available.

Residual Stress Textbook

A detailed reference book Practical Residual Stress Measurement Methods was published by Wiley in 2013. The book gives clear descriptions of the major methods for measuring residual stresses, including the hole-drilling method. Chapter 1 is publicly available.
