This paper presents a modified hole-drilling technique for measuring residual stresses in a finite width plate subjected to biaxial tensile loading. Instead of using a special strain rosette containing three elements, only two strain gauges are used to determine the values of relaxed strains and hence the residual stresses in a biaxially stressed plate. It also gives a new approach which measures the radial relieved strains in two strain gauges mounted on a plate due to drilling a small central hole and then enlarging it. The corresponding residual stresses and their directions are derived.
