Before the crack initiation, digital image measurements were taken to visualize the evolution of the plastic zone. After the sample was fractured, the material microstructure and the residual stresses around the cracked zone were characterized through optical microscopy and X-ray diffractometry. This article describes in detail how the plastic zone evolved around the notch before the crack initiation and shows the close agreement between experimental and numerical data during the load increment. The surface residual stress values around the tip of the notched sample were also measured and computed to give a better understanding of the affected region during the fracture process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15041546","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,21]],"date-time":"2022-02-21T08:22:19Z","timestamp":1645431739000},"page":"1546","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Study of the Evolution of the Plastic Zone and Residual Stress in a Notched T-6061 Aluminum Sample"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Luis Manuel","family":"Palacios-Pineda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnol\u00f3gico Nacional de Mexico\/Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico de Pachuca, Pachuca 42080, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Emiliano","family":"Hernandez-Res\u00e9ndiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnol\u00f3gico Nacional de Mexico\/Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico de Pachuca, Pachuca 42080, Mexico"},{"name":"Tecnologico de Monterrey, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Advanced Materials, School of Engineering and Sciences, Monterrey 64849, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3837-2083","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oscar","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Romero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnologico de Monterrey, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Advanced Materials, School of Engineering and Sciences, Monterrey 64849, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roque J.","family":"Hernandez Donado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ingenier\u00eda Mec\u00e1nica, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma del Caribe, Barranquilla 080020, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jes\u00fas","family":"Tenorio-Quevedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Honeywell Aerospace, Vialidad Tabalaopa 8507, Parque Industrial \u00c1valos, Chihuahua 31074, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isaac H.","family":"Jim\u00e9nez-Cede\u00f1o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnologico de Monterrey, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Advanced Materials, School of Engineering and Sciences, Monterrey 64849, Mexico"},{"name":"Vertiv, Ave. Luis Guadalupe Fernandez 3502 Parque Industrial FINSA, Santa Catarina 66380, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cecilio","family":"L\u00f3pez-Vega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Honeywell Aerospace, Vialidad Tabalaopa 8507, Parque Industrial \u00c1valos, Chihuahua 31074, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4385-6269","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Olvera-Trejo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnologico de Monterrey, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Advanced Materials, School of Engineering and Sciences, Monterrey 64849, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alex","family":"El\u00edas-Z\u00fa\u00f1iga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnologico de Monterrey, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Advanced Materials, School of Engineering and Sciences, Monterrey 64849, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"192","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compstruct.2015.12.020","article-title":"Full-field strain measurements at the micro-scale in fiber-reinforced composites using digital image correlation","volume":"140","author":"Mehdikhani","year":"2016","journal-title":"Compos.
